When the tail tries wagging the dog. Recent case law on director removals

It is a settled principle in South African law that a director of a company may be removed at the whim of the shareholders, who do not need to give reasons for such removal, in terms of the procedure under section 71(1) of the Companies Act 71 of 2008 (Companies Act). On the other hand, in a scenario involving the removal of a director by the other directors on the board, under section 71(3) of the Companies Act, the director concerned must be given reasons, as only certain grounds suffice for section 71(3) purposes (e.g. ineligibility, incapacity, dereliction of duty, etc.).

Navigating the energy crisis: The case for remote, flexible and hybrid working

Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic and the lockdown regulations that followed, most workplaces implemented traditional norms in relation to regulating working hours. Employees were expected to report to work at a certain time, were entitled to a meal break, and exited the workplace at the end of the workday. The aftermath of the COVID-19 lockdowns compelled employers to reconsider these norms and to find new ways of establishing and sustaining productivity in what we came to understand as " the new normal ". Many companies implemented various work flexibility models, such as hybrid working and remote arrangements, in order to ensure that employees, while restricted, could continue to meet the companies' objectives.

Lessons on subdivision, SALA and food security from the Tridevco judgment

The Supreme Court of Appeal (SCA) handed down judgment in the case of Tridevco (Pty) Ltd and Another v Minister of Agriculture, Land Reform & Rural Development and Others JDR 3247 (SCA) in which the court was asked to determine, first, whether a property owned by Tridevco (Pty) Ltd and Witfontein X16 Boerdery CC (collectively referred to as Tridevco) constituted “ agricultural lan d” under the Subdivision of Agricultural Land Act 70 of 1970 (SALA), which would require the consent of the Minister of Agriculture, Land Reform and Rural Development (Minister) for subdivision. The Minister refused Tridevco’s application for subdivision of the property on the basis that the land was high-potential agricultural land essential for food security of the country. The second issue for determination before the SCA was whether the refusal by the Minister to approve Tridevco’s subdivision application was reviewable, rational andlawful.
