Labour Law Rules

by McGregor, Dekker, Budeli, Manamela, Manamela and Tshoose

LABOUR LAW Rules! provides a highly accessible text on labour, equity, social security and skills development laws. It discusses these laws against a background of the country supporting the principle of ‘decent work’, high unemployment, the insufficient creation of sustainable and decent jobs, income inequality, all exacerbated by an increase in atypical work, skills shortages, as well as insufficient enforcement of laws.

“This book takes an innovative approach and breaks new ground in the dissemination of labour law. As a teacher and practical user of labour law in my policy and professional work, I am delighted to endorse and recommend this book. I have no doubt at all that readers will enjoy using it, and will find it to be an asset.”
Evance Kalula - Professor of Law, University of Cape Town, Chairperson, Employment Conditions Commission

The New Companies Act Unlocked

by Carl Stein

From 1 May 2011 company law in South Africa was dramatically altered: the 1973 Act which had governed companies for the life-times of most business people and lawyers in South Africa was replaced by the Companies Act of 2008, as amended in March 2011. A new era of company law dawned, and with it a host of new concepts, rights, remedies, obligations, procedures and sanctions were introduced.

These fundamentally affect the way that every business operates and the advice and practice of every lawyer, accountant or other professional adviser. This book, the first to cover the new Act and the new regulations, provides the hand-holding, the insight, and the understanding that business and their advisers require in order not to be wrong-footed by the new regime.

Endorsements

"Carl Stein has done a splendid job in his description and analysis of the new Act, precisely because of his ability to explain the basis upon which the Act has been built. But he has done far more. As befits a lawyer with so rich an experience of company law and corporate life, Mr Stein provides practical guidance as to the ramifications of each component of the Act and the accompanying regulations which have to date received no attention.
"For these reasons, this book represents the first sustained treatment of legislation that, unlike earlier changes, particularly the 1973 Act, introduces major innovation for which there is scarce domestic precedent to date, if any. While its primary audience may well be the practitioner and business executive, this book will surely also assist the academic community to parse the myriad of new sections and their implications for the running of a company."

Dennis Davis,Judge President, Competition Appeal Court; Honorary Professor of Law at the University of Cape Town

"Stein’s book ...is likely to become an essential tool to understanding the new Act.
"Stein’s book, which is published by Siber Ink, not only explains the technical application of theAact but also provides a useful analysis of the thinking behind the major changes to our company law."
Ann Crotty - Business Report 21 October 2011

Labour Arbitration 2ed

by Jordaan, Kantor, & Bosch

This highly acclaimed guide, first published in 2002, has been thoroughly revised and updated. Practical advice on all stages of arbitration, from the pre-arbitration stage to the issuing of the award are covered as well as the basic legal principles concerning disputes over alleged unfair dismissal, the basics of the law of evidence and how to prepare for and present a case at arbitration.

In addition to this there are sections on the pitfalls of the law of evidence, applications for condonation and reviews – these often being the very issues on which the Labour Court so often sees applicants in review applications being tripped up. Furthermore, a discussion on unfair labour practice arbitrations has been included. No labour law practitioner or trade union representative should be without this book.

This book is now available.

Wild Law 2nd Ed

by Cormac Cullinan

Wild Law weaves politics, legal theory, quantum physics and ancient wisdom into a fascinating and inspiring story about how to rediscover a viable role for the human species within the Earth community. This ground-breaking book has been seminal in inspiring the global movement to recognise rights for Nature – a movement destined to shape the 21st Century as significantly as the human rights movements shaped the 20th Century.

Wild Law reveals how the governance systems of contemporary civilisations legitimise and promote the disastrous exploitation and destruction of Earth and why an Earth-centred approach is essential to address climate change and the accelerating degradation of the ecological systems on which we depend. Cormac Cullinan explains how to begin transforming industrialized societies to ensure that the pursuit of human wellbeing enhances the beauty, health and diversity of Earth instead of diminishing it.

This revised second edition includes a new preface, postscript and the Universal Declaration of the Rights of Mother Earth proclaimed on 22nd April 2010 by the People’s World Conference on Climate Change and the Rights of Mother Earth.

Globalisation and Governance

Editor: Laurence Boulle

As countries come to terms with the global financial crisis their citizens become more assertive in many parts of the world. Challenges to conventional wisdom on economic governance are accompanied by the popular rejection of archaic systems of state government. At the global level new economic and political forces challenge former patterns of international domination.

In these contexts appropriate governance is the imperative of the age. Economic globalisation in particular requires reassessments of state and corporate governance, as well as reconsideration of how the international political economy is governed – or not governed.

This book examines these themes from different disciplinary perspectives, in different national and institutional settings, and in terms of high theory and practical service delivery. It is topical and insightful and provokes thought on the governance challenges ahead.

Laurence Boulle is Director, Mandela Institute, and Issy Wolfson Professor of Law, University of Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, and Professor of Law, Bond University, Australia. He has published extensively in constitutional law, mediation and ADR, and international economic law and in late 2009 published The Law of Globalisation (Kluwer Law, The Netherlands)
