Lesotho Precious Garments (Pty) Ltd v Matlali and Anothers (LC/REV 119 of 12) [2015] LSLC 37 (9 June 2015)
The Labour Court set aside a reinstatement order, upheld the review on the merits, and awarded six months’ compensation after finding reinstatement impracticable.
Presitex Enterprises (Pty) Ltd v Ntsane and Others (LC/REV 114 of 12) [2015] LSLC 23 (20 May 2015)
The arbitrator erred by classifying the respondents as 'machine operators' solely because they used washing machines, without sufficient investigation into the nature of the machines or the work performed. This simplistic interpretation was unreasonable, ignored relevant considerations, and led to an absurd result. The award was therefore reviewable and set aside.

Johane v Christian Council of Lesotho and Another (LC/REV 54 of 13) [2015] LSLC 18 (13 February 2015)
The applicant's contract was a fixed term contract that expired by effluxion of time as stipulated in the contract and Section 62(3) of the Labour Code Order, 1992. The employer's reference to lack of funds did not convert the termination into a dismissal for operational requirements. No legitimate expectation of renewal was established, and no procedural irregularity occurred in the arbitral proceedings.

Lesotho Bakery (Pty) Ltd v Loape and Another (LC/REV 73 of 12) [2015] LSLC 21 (14 January 2015)
The Arbitrator failed to apply his mind to all essential elements of a rescission application by considering only the explanation for default and not the bona fide defence or prospects of success, constituting a material mistake of law and reviewable error under Section 228F(3) of the Labour Code (Amendment) Act, 2000.
