No blissful ignorance for non-compliance: The Turquand rule and section 20(7) in the context of special resolutions and fundamental transactions

The Turquand rule has been discussed and fairly applied in the South African jurisprudence. However, an interesting question remains as to whether the Turquand rule or section 20(7) of the Companies Act 71 of 2008 (Companies Act) can be used to compel a party to implement a transaction where the party has not complied with the applicable provisions of the Companies Act requiring a special resolution of shareholders for the disposal of all or a greater part of the company’s assets or undertaking, amalgamation or merger, or a scheme of arrangement (fundamental transactions). The jurisprudence has adopted the take-no-prisoners approach sofar.

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).
