This case concerned the employment status of a part-time playschool teacher in a grant-aided school. The complainant argued that she was treated less favourably than full-time teachers doing comparable work. The High Court found that teachers whose salaries are publicly funded are deemed to be employed by the Minister for Education, thus entitled to redress under the Act.
