Another case won by Labour Law Advocate. Our client entered into a signed settlement agreement during 2010 where she was retrenched but paid a favorable severance package. The employer however alleged that she breached the agreement and refused to pay her the severance package. We went to CCMA to make agreement and award and succeeded. The employer took the decision in review to the labour court and succeeded. We then filed an application for the agreement to be made an order if the labour court. The court found against us and we approached the labour appeal court, who set aside the labour court judgment with costs. We then appeared the court a few weeks ago to lead evidence. The judge issued judgment finding in favour of our client and ordered that the R128000.00 odd be paid with interests. Costs were also awarded against the employer. The employer however is now thinking of appealing against the judgment. It is now some three years later. This is just unacceptable for cases to take so long but we will do our best to oppose the employers application for leave to appeal. Thanks to contingency agreements some individuals can get their cases heard despite the power of big organizations to just throw money in litigation. Should you need assistance in fighting for fairness and justice in any employment related dispute do not hesitate to seek advice from Labour Advocate.
