The High Court held the Magistrate was entitled to draw an irresistible inference of employment from the proved circumstantial evidence: appellants were actively unloading scrap metal, acted under direction and control of the lorry driver (M3), the recycling site/lorry constituted a usual place of employment and there was no credible alternative explanation; the Magistrate did not reverse the burden of proof.
