Paul v NALGO [1987] IRLR 413 is a UK labour law case, concerning the governance of trade unions in the United Kingdom.
Contents
Facts
P and F, members of NALGO, claimed the union’s publications against the Tories were unlawful under TUA 1913 s 3(3)(f) providing funds could not be used to persuade people to not vote for a candidate – unless there had been a political objects clause, under what is now TULRCA 1992 s 72(1)(f).
Judgment
Sir Nicolas Browne-Wilkinson VC held the literature was unlawful under the TUA 1913 s 3(3)(f) as its main purpose was to persuade people to not vote Tory, and so was unlawful.
