The Establishment Secretary's memorandum granted the Director of Public Works a discrete power to 'decide' which stand-by times were to be exempted, which amounted to an unlawful delegation of the Secretary's power under the C.S.R.s; therefore the Director's circulars purporting to exclude the plaintiffs from overtime entitlement under the C.S.R.s were invalid and the plaintiffs were entitled to overtime under the relevant C.S.R.s.
