The rare and elusive fundamental transaction: Statutory mergers and amalgamation in terms of section 113 of the Companies Act

Flexibility and adaptability when advising clients on any proposed transaction, whether a deal with third parties or an internal restructuring, are crucial skills for any mergers and acquisitions (M&A) lawyer. Fortunately, the Companies Act 71 of 2008 (Companies Act) provides a few options, including the rarely used statutory amalgamation or merger in terms of section 113. All distinctions between amalgamations and mergers in drafts of section 113 were removed from the final legislation, so this note only refers to a section 113 merger for convenience.

Menstrual leave: Advancing gender equality in the workplace

The opening up of the workplace and the inclusion of women in a formal manner in the economy has increased since the early 20 th century. Since then, the path to equal access to professional careers, closing the gender gap in relation to remuneration, and equal opportunities for promotion and leadership positions has been a long one, with gradual progress over time. The need to legally provide maternity leave benefits and legally safeguard employment in the context of pregnancy are some contemporary examples.

P.O.V: Your partner ends the partnership but at least there’s no tax payable: BPR 391

At common law, a partnership is not considered to be a legal entity or persona with legal personality separate from its partners. Rather, a partnership has been defined as a legal relationship between two or more persons who carry on a lawful business or undertaking, to which each contributes either money or labour, or anything of value with the object of making a profit, and of sharing that profit between them. As such, all legal consequences flowing from a partnership accrue to the partners in their personal capacities. This is also the position under the Income Tax Act 58 of 1962 (Act). Therefore, any property of the partnership is co-owned by the partners in undivided shares. Each partner therefore has a proportionate interest in the partnership, and by acquiring an interest in the partnership, each partner acquires an undivided share in the assets of the partnership.
