Eastern Football League v Commissioner of State Revenue [2006] VCAT 233

The issue was whether the umpires appointed by the Eastern Football League (a not-for-profit incorporated association established to promote, co-ordinate and administer the sport of Australian Rules football through its member clubs) are common law employees.
