A BusinessDay publication of “Annual leave not a ‘piggy bank’ system, so take annual leave — or lose it” an article by Richard Brown.   Due for annual leave? Don’t even think about storing it up for a rainy day.   A new judgment from the labour court stressed that taking a break every year is one of an employee’s fundamental rights. While employers who want employees not to take leave are in breach of the law, there’s an even more serious consideration for staffers: the labour court reminds all employees that leave not taken within six months of the relevant leave cycle will be lost.   In case you missed it, read more about the article here: https://bit.ly/3M6b1xj #HeroldGieAttorneys #HeroldGie #HeroldGieArticles #LawArticle #BusinessLIVE #BusinessDay #LawFirm #CapeTownLawFirm #LegalAdviceWhenItMatters

A Mail & Guardian publication of “Beware of the joint estate – it dies with your spouse” an opinion piece by Charlise Finch and Kaamilah Paulse.   A question that is of importance to all those people married in community of property is: “Am I liable for my partner’s debt?”   In the pivotal high court decision of Andre Van Der Merwe and another v Basson and others, the Gauteng Division of the High Court deals with the degree to which one can hold the joint estate of couples married in community of property liable for the wrongs committed by that spouse after that spouse’s death. This led the court to venture into an interpretation of section 19 of the Matrimonial Property Act (MPA).   In case you missed it, read more about the article here: https://bit.ly/3WLBCEQ #HeroldGieAttorneys #HeroldGie #HeroldGieArticles #LawArticle #MailandGuardian #MG #LawFirm #CapeTownLawFirm #LegalAdviceWhenItMatters

Read our latest Employment Law article written by candidate attorney Khanyisa Monqo and vetted by director Richard Brown.   It is a common misconception that individuals with criminal records face permanent barriers to employment, indeed, in various instances individuals who have such records are often unfairly prevented from receiving gainful employment due to previous convictions.   But is it lawful to refuse or rescind a job offer on the basis that the applicant has a criminal record?   Read more about the article here: https://bit.ly/3yH5IkQ #HeroldGieAttorneys #HeroldGie #HeroldGieArticles #EmploymentLaw #LawFirm #CapeTownLawFirm #LegalAdviceWhenItMatters

A Bizcommunity.com publication of “The Consumer Protection Act and how it applies to lease agreements” an article by Alisa Malindi. It can often be the case that whilst a tenant is leasing a property from the owner, the property is subsequently sold to a third party. The case of Venter and Another v Els and Another dealt with this situation and a dispute which arose when the owners attempted to cancel the lease agreement subsequent to the sale of the property. The case further provides an interesting discussion around section 14(2)(b) of the Consumer Protection Act and its applicability to once off lease agreements.
