Beyond status: Parameters of section 198D of the LRA, and competent relief for current and former employees

Section 198D of the Labour Relations Act 66 of 1995 (LRA) contains general provisions applicable to sections 198A to 198C, and vests the Commission for Conciliation, Mediation and Arbitration (CCMA) or bargaining council with the power to conciliate and arbitrate any dispute related to the interpretation or application of these subsections. This includes disputes related to the status of the employment relationship between a temporary employee and the client of a temporary employment service (TES). Once the CCMA determines that the employee is deemed an employee of the client in terms of section 198A(3)(b), is the scope of section 198D wide enough to empower the CCMA to grant substantive relief? What about those who are no longer “ employed ” at the time of lodging a dispute?

As Wyatt Earp said: “ Fast is fine, but accuracy is final. You must learn to be slow in a hurry .” It is important for litigants to consider and make use of the relevant available legal mechanisms to ensure that legal issues are properly crystallised.

All’s fair when it comes to business and rescue

It is well known that one of the benefits of business rescue is that it provides breathing room for the company in financial distress through the temporary moratorium on the rights of claimants against the company. The creditors of a company in business rescue are usually found scrambling to determine what their rights are in the event of a debtor going into business rescue. Business rescue affords the business rescue practitioner certain powers when it comes to contracts in general, which means that any party that has contractual relations with the company may have its rights affected by the exercise of such powers. Therefore, it does not mean that if one is not a creditor of the company, they will not be affected by the business rescue.
