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.

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.
