The SRCA's formal inclusion of Cadet Corps members clarifies the status of such persons as 'employees' although they are unpaid. For further information on who qualifies as a member of the Cadet Corp see the Defcare commentary, which contains exte — nsive quotes from the Defence Act.
Cadet Corps members were not formally provided for by the terms of the 1971 Act, but are and were included in pre-1988 coverage as a result of judicial decisions and government policy.
