City of Cape Town: Establishment of a regional landfill site
Cliffe Dekker Hofmeyr advised the City of Cape Town on a challenge to the authorisation of the establishment of a regional landfill site.
This mandate is important as the City of Cape Town is running out of space in which to dispose of waste and it is critical that a new landfill site be established to ensure that adequate municipal services are supplied.

Board resolutions, legal precision and governance discipline
Board resolutions, legal precision and governance discipline Board resolutions are fundamental instruments of corporate governance, giving legal effect to the collective will of a board of directors and authorising its actions in line with fiduciary, statutory and contractual obligations. Yet, even within well-governed organisations, seemingly minor oversights, from imprecise wording to undeclared conflicts of interests, can lead to execution delays, regulatory exposure, and, in some cases, the invalidation of otherwise lawful decisions.

Constructive dismissal: The end result of complaints, grievances and toxicity in the workplace
It has become quite routine for employers to simply dismiss a possible claim of constructive dismissal. This is because it is one of the more peculiar forms of dismissal claims and, statistically, a form of claim that does not easily find success at arbitration. In short, for an employee to succeed they must show that the resignation was because their continued employment had become intolerable at the instance of the employer. While the bar is high, the risk of a successful constructive dismissal claim can be serious for an employer.
