H & H Specialized Services (Pty) Ltd v Bezuidenhout and Others (J318/21)

H & H Specialized Services (Pty) Ltd v Bezuidenhout and Others (J318/21) [2023] ZALCJHB 333 (22 November 2023)

The writ of execution was set aside because it was issued for an amount inclusive of VAT, based on an invoice, rather than for remuneration as ordered by the Consented Order. The Consented Order required payment of remuneration for the suspension period, which, in the context of an employment relationship, obliged the applicant to deduct employee's tax before payment. The respondent's refusal to provide tax information prevented the applicant from complying with the order. The writ was therefore not in conformity with the judgment and could not be enforced as issued. The applicant's obligatio…

RFS Administrators (PTY) LTD v Samons and Others (JS 641/17)

RFS Administrators (PTY) LTD v Samons and Others (JS 641/17) [2022] ZALCJHB 110 (30 August 2022)

The court found that the applicant failed to prove the existence of an employment contract with the respondents at the time the bonus payments were made. The evidence established that the respondents' employment with the applicant had terminated when they were appointed by the Funds, and any subsequent remuneration or HR arrangements were governed by the Funds, not the applicant. The HR Policy and its addendum did not apply to the respondents, as there was no employer-employee relationship with the applicant. The payments received by the respondents were not secret profits, but bonuses paid b…

Mkhwanazi and Another v Unitrans Supply Chain Solutions (PTY) Ltd (27 July 2022) (JS 1087/12) [2022] ZALCJHB 201 (27 July 2022)

The court found that the respondent offered the applicants reasonable alternative employment in Johannesburg, including a relocation allowance, temporary accommodation, and the prospect of future salary increases. The reduction in hourly rates was justified by the terms of the new contract and parity among employees. The applicants' refusal to accept the alternative employment was based solely on the reduced rates, which amounted to a loss of approximately R300 per month. The court held that this refusal was unreasonable, especially given the respondent's efforts to avoid retrenchment and the…
