ASP.NET MVC 3 Remote validation stopped working

I'm using the client side validation for my views, and have just created a ViewModel which contains an organisation object and an address object.

I used to have a ViewModel that just mapped to the domain entity. On my domain entity I had the following:

[NotMapped]
    [Remote("ValidOrganisation", "Manage", "Organisations", ErrorMessage = "That organisation doesn't exist")]
    public string Organisation { get; set; }

However, I have now created a ViewModel for the view that contains the following:

public class PersonModel
{
    public Person Person { get; set; }
    public AddressModel Address { get; set; }
}

The person object contains the Organisation property.

In my view, I have the following:

<div>
            <label for="Organisation">Organisation</label>
            <div class="input large">
                @Html.TextBoxFor(m => m.Person.Organisation)
                <span class="help-block">Type the first letter of the organisation to search</span>
                @Html.ValidationMessageFor(m => m.Person.Organisation)
                @Html.Hidden("OrganisationID")
            </div>
        </div>

The only thing that changed was:

@Html.TextBoxFor(m => m.Organisation)

to:

@Html.TextBoxFor(m => m.Person.Organisation)

My remote validation code is:

public JsonResult ValidOrganisation(string organisation)
    {
        var exists = orgs.SelectAll().Where(o => o.Name.ToLower() == organisation.ToLower()).Count() > 0;

        return Json(exists, JsonRequestBehavior.AllowGet);
    }

The problem is that NULL is now always being passed in, which is always returning false.

Is this something to do with the Organisation property now changing to be Person.Organisation?

1] Open your view Page Source and see what is Id renderd for the 

@Html.TextBoxFor(m => m.Person.Organisation)

2] and rename organisation in method to accept same ID I am expecting it to be Person_Organisation

public JsonResult ValidOrganisation(string organisation)

use below

public JsonResult ValidOrganisation(string Person_Organisation)
