The Labour Appeal Court dealt with an appeal about a rescission application and an arbitration award concerning translation into the Occupational Specific Dispensation. It set aside the Labour Court order, dismissed the rescission application, and made the arbitration award an order of court. The judgment also records that the appellants were not parties to the collective agreement, but were found to fall within the scope described in the Resolution.
This appears to concern public service employment classification and an arbitration award under a collective agreement, and may be relevant to public sector labour practitioners.
