The Podcast considers the case of Lindokuhle Tsibani v Estate Agency Affairs Board and Others - Case no: J 642/2021. This was an urgent application to the Labour Court where Ms Tsibani alleged that she was an employee who in good faith believed that the holding of an inquiry by her employer contravened the Protected Disclosures Act. Ms Tsibani tried to avoid the internal enquiry, after it had already commenced, by invoking the provisions of section 188A of the LRA to have the CCMA, as an independent body, hear the allegations against her.

Further, according to the Fitch Ratings forecast of real gross domestic product growth, we will see an increase of only 0,9% in 2024 and at best 1,3% in 2025. Against this backdrop, and given our social, economic and political landscape, organisations in South Africa face real challenges, and business distress can beexpected.

Early Detection of Fraud and/or Corruption in Arbitrations: Lessons from the Recent English Court Decisions?

Two recent English Commercial Court decisions serve as a warning to dishonest parties hoping to exploit the arbitral process to obtain or enforce fraudulent or corrupt arbitration awards.
