In Professional Game Match Officials Ltd, the Supreme Court handed down its decision in the long-awaited case about the employment status of football referees and the correct approach to the ‘mutuality of obligation’ element of the Ready Mixed Concrete test. Contrary to widespread misreporting, the Supreme Court did not determine that the referees were employees. Despite dismissing PGMOL’s appeal, the court accepted its fundamental argument that the nature and extent of the mutual obligations are relevant in classifying the contract and remitted the case to the FTT to determine the employment status question.
