THERE IS A GENERAL PRINCIPLE in the Law of Contracts which requires that in instances of supervening impossibility of performance, a party who is prevented substantially from performing in terms of the contract is relieved from their obligation to perform in terms of that contract. In this regard, if there is a superior force which prevents a person from performing in terms of a contract this will be construed as vis major and regarded as a form of supervening impossibility to perform. ONE FORM of vis major is casus fortuitus, which is ordinarily defined as an uncontrollable accident or act of God. In this regard, an epidemic such as Covid-19 would in our opinion be regarded as a casus fortuitus event. If a tenant is able to show that as a result of Covid-19 they do not have beneficial occupation of the leased premises, i.e. do not have access to the leased premises, and further that the epidemic was unforeseen, uncontrollable and the direct result of an inability to per...

Is your business doing enough to ensure that it prevents harassment in the work, and the liability associated therewith? IN RECENT YEARS , there has been an increasing realisation of the prevalence and the devastating effects of inappropriate workplace behaviour, especially sexual harassment, in both South Africa and in international jurisdictions. The “MeToo” campaign brought awareness to this pandemic, where shocking revelations were made, regarding a number of persons that were sexually harassed, especially by their employers or by persons in positions of power over them. Workplace behaviour is the manner in which employees respond to specific circumstances or situations in the workplace. Whilst many elements determine an individual’s behaviour in the workplace, employees are shaped by their culture and by the organisation’s culture.

Every place of work has a different atmosphere, a different environment, a different ethos. An efficient and harmonious working environment is created, largely, by the way people behave in the workplace. This includes the behaviour of employees, employers and to, some extent, even customers and clients.It is important for you as an employer to develop a Workplace Behavior Policy so as to ensure consistency in the workplace and to prevent a situation where your company can be held liable for any form of bullying or harassment in the workplace.

An employer’s rules must create certainty and consistency in the application of discipline in order to be labour law compliant. This requires that the standards of conduct are clear and available to employees in a manner that is easily understood by employees.
