To survive, or not to survive? Some conditions precedent pitfalls to look out for

One of the important aspects of written agreements being subject to the fulfilment or waiver of certain agreed conditions precedent, or suspensive conditions, (CPs) before the substantive provisions of the agreement become of force and effect, is the so-called “ surviving provisions/clauses ” (also known as “ immediately effective provisions/clauses ”). In the ordinary course, the crux of the transaction contemplated in such an agreement and the clauses relating to it are suspended from the signature date until all of the CPs are fulfilled or waived (if permissible and applicable) by an agreed date or dates (fulfilment date). If all of the CPs are not fulfilled or waived by the fulfilment date, the agreement effectively falls away and will be of no force or effect. However, it should be borne in mind that the parties to an agreement with CPs may very well intend for certain of the clauses in the agreement to come into force and effect from the signature date of the agreement and to survive the falling away of the substantive provisions due to non-fulfilment of theCPs.

Update: Union representation in litigation disputes

Over the years, the question of whether an aggrieved employee may be represented in litigation proceedings by any trade union has been the subject of some uncertainty. That was until 2022, when the question was considered by the Labour Appeal Court (LAC) in NUMSA & Others v Afgri Animal Feeds (Ltd) (2022) 43 ILJ 1998 (LAC) where the LAC found that employees have the right to be represented by a trade union of their choice in litigation proceedings, regardless of whether the trade union’s constitution covers the industry in which the employees are employed. However, for collective bargaining rights, a trade union cannot bargain collectively with the employer in an industry outside of its scope (as the court saw this as a separate issue). To read our 2022 alert about this matter, click here [/en/news/publications/2022/Practice/Employment/employment-law-alert-29-august-union-representation-in-litigation-disputes.html#:~:text=With reference to Lufil Packaging,of union representation is unfettered.] .
