The High Court held that the Director General and Minister acted lawfully in authorising a secret ballot under s.9(4A)(b) and Regs 10–11; all workmen in Appendix A1 were entitled to vote and there was no statutory requirement to verify that each voter was a union member at the material time; therefore the recognition decision based on 66.88% membership was not unlawful, irrational or perverse and the judicial review failed.
