Just to finish the story. Sorry - the distinct in the select is needed, I missed it out.
Going a step further, I now have: named_scope :flagged_repairs, :select => 'distinct repairs.*', :joins => :repair_notes, :conditions => ["notes.flagged = ?", true] So in my search, where I am building a dynamic scope (thanks to railscasts) I can do: scope.flagged_repairs.paginate(:page=>page, :per_page=>per_page) And it all appears to work!!
