The Court held that on the totality of evidence (employee register, salary nomenclature in financials, EPF/SOCSO contributions, PCB/EA forms, roles and remuneration) the appellants qualified as 'workman' under s 2 IRA despite being directors; the Industrial Court erred in law by finding lack of jurisdiction; the High Court's affirmation was set aside; the Court awarded compensation in lieu of reinstatement and backwages and ordered interest and costs as appropriate.
