The battle began in the infancy of business rescue when SARS insisted it be treated as a preferred creditor in business rescue, akin to its treatment in liquidation and sequestration scenarios. This position was successfully challenged in the High Court of South African by business rescue practitioner Bradley Beginsel N.O., represented by CDH. The latest battle surrounds the question of whether VAT rebates can be set off against pre-commencement tax obligations only assessed after business rescue has started. This issue is currently in the queue to come before the Supreme Court of Appeal.

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.] .
