South African labour disputes may be determined by different forums depending on the nature of the dispute and the relief sought. The CCMA provides specialised mechanisms for the conciliation and arbitration of qualifying employment disputes. The Labour Court is a specialist court dealing with matters arising from labour legislation, including applications to review certain CCMA awards. Ordinary courts, including the Magistrates' Courts and High Court, may have jurisdiction over certain employment-related contractual or other claims. Selecting the appropriate forum at the outset is essential to ensuring that a matter is properly instituted and efficiently pursued. Contact us for legal assistance.
