Is 2021 bringing about a change? A consideration of mandatory vaccinations in the workplace

With businesses preparing to resume as near to “normal” operations, as is possible, and with the rollout of covid-19 vaccinations worldwide, it is unlikely that the government will impose a mandatory vaccination program across the country. The question of mandating inoculation within the employee population will therefore need to be determined by individual employers on a case by case basis. A decision to be made sooner rather than later.

Back to the future: Harnessing Building Information Modeling for Greening Retrofit Projects

Amid the international push towards sustainability and energy efficiency, retrofitting existing buildings into greener models is a crucial strategy for reducing the consumptive effect that the built environment has on its surroundings. Buildings typically account for 40% of a city’s total energy usage, with electricity in the built environment accounting for nearly a quarter of South Africa’s carbon emissions. Retrofitting existing structures can thus play a significant role in infusing the built industry with environmentally-sustainablesolutions.

The purpose of this rule is to bring to the attention of the defendant/respondent that legal proceedings have been brought against them. The Uniform Rules of Court, however, do not always require the document instituting the legal proceedings to be personally served on the defendant/respondent. This can lead to a situation where judgment is granted against a person without their knowledge.
