The workshop will cover:

This workshop focuses on ‘hot off the press’ and binding labour law judgments. Through interactive discussions the speaker will keep participants abreast with developments within the labour law arena and how it affects their business.

The workshop will run from 08h30 to 13h00 and will cover around 10 judgments from the Constitutional Court to the Labour Court and Others. Topics for discussion will include;

  • Can a strike notice include other employees who were not part of the dispute at conciliation? 
  • Is there a rational reason why attorneys have no automatic right of appearance at the CCMA or Bargaining Council?
  • The doctrine of functus officio – the LAC explains when an arbitrator can revisit his or her own decision.
  • An example of a ‘technically’ unprotected strike and the appropriate sanction under these circumstances. (included in the topic will be the test courts will adopt when a party wishes to withdraw an admission contained in a signed pre trail conference)  
  • Can an employee apply to Labour Court on an urgent basis to order the employer to pay his salary?
  • A note from a Sangoma – post Kiewits Kroon 
  • Does s197 apply to a franchise agreement – the LAC weighs in. 
  • Yet another approach to how to define ‘benefits’ by the LAC
  • Principles relating to rescission and condonation revisited
  • The workshop will end with participants posing questions to speakers on topics discussed or any other labour law topic they require assistance in. 

Each participant will take away with them summaries of all judgments discussed. Summaries include a quote from the actual decision, encapsulating the principle discussed, which can be used at arbitrations and Court.
