Doctor Who? The scourge of bogus doctors

Woolworths (Pty) Ltd v Commission for Conciliation Mediation and Arbitration and Others (JA90/22) ZALAC 29 (13 June 2024) The abuse of sick leave in South African workplaces is rife. This not only has a detrimental financial impact on employers but may also impact the efficiency and performance of a business. An absent employee places strain on other team members, who must pick up the slack, and may even require the use of a replacement, at an additional cost. Unfortunately, devious employees, often with the assistance of unscrupulous medical practitioners, have devised various means to work the system to their benefit. It goes without saying that the proper management of sick leave is important in any business.

Can Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) be a pathway to affordable homeownership?

Kenya’s affordable housing agenda is a government initiative aimed at addressing the housing deficit in the country by providing affordable and decent housing for its citizens through homeownership. This initiative aligns with the Government’s broader development goals outlined in its Vision 2030 blueprint. The key challenges that have been identified as the barriers to delivering this agenda include (i) limited capacity for rapid construction of affordable homes even though the Government has initiated large-scale construction projects across the country; (ii) lack of guaranteed off-take, which undermines property developers’ confidence in exiting developments upon completion; and (iii) limited access to financing options that could enable developers bring more affordable homes to the market.

The interplay between set-off and post-liquidation debt

Can a creditor that has realised its security in terms of section 83(3) of the Insolvency Act, 1936 claim set-off of a post-liquidation debt owed to it by an insolvent estate or company in liquidation against the amount of the proceeds of the realisation of the secured property that it is obliged to pay to the liquidator in terms of section 83(10) of the Insolvency Act? The High Court indicated that the answer is “ No ” and, inter alia , ordered the creditor to pay the amount of the net proceeds of the realised security to the joint liquidators. The interplay between set-off and post-liquidation debt was therefore considered by the Supreme Court of Appeal in Emontic Investments (Pty) Ltd v Bothomley NO and Others (1123/2022) ZASCA 1 (9 January 2024).
