Abstract:

Magister Legum - LLM
This research will chart and navigate the early stages in the development, conceptualisation, and formulation of Islāmic law and the concept of ṣulḥ as a mechanism of legal redress in Islāmic law (Sharī’a). The research shows that firstly, the mechanism is deeply rooted and embedded in scriptural (Qur’ānic) and extrascriptural text namely the corpus of Ḥadīth. There is a plethora of instructions to prove that reconciliation is indeed a lofty goal which is rewarded as an act of worship. Like many other aspects of the Sharī’a, ṣulḥ is regulated by provisions of the scripture and extra-scriptural sources considered by Muslims as the (Sharī’a). Secondly ṣulḥ is also the preferred method of alternative dispute resolution because it is fluid, contractual, expeditious and one of the most effective ways of solving different types of disputes, whether commercial or family. It has therefore gained considerable traction in modern western financial industry which I think is largely due to its contractual nature and the absence of the adversarial element. As a mechanism of redress, ṣulḥ is governed by Islāmic law of contract which takes the form of an agreement which can be mutually negotiated between two or more parties. Of late it has also become the mechanism of choice in family and marital disputes.

Abstract:

This cross disciplinary socio-legal research study provides a unique contribution to the study of British Muslims, faith based ADR mechanisms and the state. The existence of informal religio-centric dispute resolution forums exemplifies a form of legal pluralism in action. The study investigated the approach to Islamic family law and dispute resolution of a sample of 250 British Muslims aged 18-45, primarily Britishborn, university educated and practicing their faith or understanding their religious obligations. Empirical research was undertaken using both quantitative and qualitative research methods, and conclusions were drawn by assessing the findings using Grounded Theory methodology. Empirical research focussing on younger generations of British Muslims and the transformative processes of the Islamic legal traditions impacting on the application of religious laws are absent. The present study is unique in a number of regards, with a focus on the subject group’s interaction with, and perception of, dispute resolution forums available for resolving Islamic family law disputes. This thesis argues that British Muslims from within the socio-demographic profile of the subject group: 1) believe faith based ADR mechanisms such as Shariah Councils are necessary for providing expertise on Islamic family law issues, however in their present form they are imperfect; 2) believe Shariah Councils are more competent than national courts in dealing with Islamic law issues; 3) have plural approaches to negotiating law, culture and religion; and 4) believe there should not be a separate legal system for Muslims in Britain, as this is separatist and divergent from their identities as ‘British Muslims’ which is an evolving self-identification. Participants displayed numerous perceptions about the manner and form of interaction between British Muslims, faith based ADR mechanisms and the British legal system. Six categories are coined in the research findings exploring these opinions, the most popular being a ‘rights-based evaluation promoting Interlegality’ and ‘necessity for validation of religious beliefs’.

Abstract:

This thesis develops a model for the fair resolution of internet disputes. The internet has the potential to lead to international~ cross-border disputes being a powerful communications medium, that allows data exchanges in various media formats between a wide range of different users situated in distant locations. It explores the meaning of fairness for the resolution of such disputes. This thesis refers to the existing literature examining the private international law issues arising from cross-border interactions and transactions on the internet which make litigation and enforcement more costly and lengthy. For many disputes arising on the internet, alternative ways of resolving such disputes have to be found. This thesis contains a detailed exploration of the use of mediation and arbitration, using online technology. obviating the need for the parties and lawyers to meet face-to-face and leading to more efficient information processing, and thereby reducing cost and delay in dispute resolution. Binding dispute resolution and enforceability in cross-border cases are important for internet disputes and can be provided by online arbitration. Therefore, this thesis proceeds to examines in great detail the legal issues surrounding online arbitration. It looks at questions of due process in arbitration and covers the legal issues surrounding business-to-consumer arbitration comparing the European approach to that in the us. The thesis contains a detailed analysis of the Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Procedure (UDRP) and considers to what extent the dispute resolution model established by the UDRP could or should sene as a model for other types of internet disputes. The conclusion from this examination of all aspects of internet dispute resolution is a model of dispute resolution. which encourages the use of online arbitration for internet disputes but, where there exists a substantial power imbalance between the disputants (such as the traditional business-to-consumer paradigm), subjects traditional commercial arbitration to more stringent due process standards for disputes.

Abstract:

The influence of globalization over legal systems has resulted in, among other effects, the emergence of transnational law and new international players, such as multinational corporations (MNEs), non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and numerous international entities. The dynamics of the new players within the new transnational legal order have generated a need for a new supranational system of dispute resolution.
The analysis focuses on the Latin American experience in adapting to judicial reform programs (sponsored by international organizations such as the World Bank and the International Development Bank) which promote the integration of Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) methods into domestic legal systems, in order to integrate such systems into a supranational system of dispute resolution for the entire continent.
This study aims to explore various alternatives for preventing a continental supranational system of dispute resolution from undermining domestic democracies, while integrating developing countries into the process of commercial globalization.

Abstract:

The aviation industry, by its very existence, has a tremendous impact on the global economy. As an integration of economic interests and international prestige, aviation triggers a large number of disputes and disagreements. This dissertation examines the regulatory aspects of international air transport disputes.
Chapter one acknowledges the existence and nature of international aviation disputes in its scope and, more importantly, recognizes some of the many causes of conflicts arising from such disputes.
The second chapter reviews chronologically dispute resolution attempts and analyses their effectiveness. Further, it examines the international bodies, governing treaties, and the available machinery for the resolution of aviation disputes.
The third chapter distinguishes the most influential multilateral and bilateral treaties in the field of aeronautics and presents the solutions for settlement of disputes promoted by ICAO.
Chapter four includes the variety of procedures found in international agreements on aviation and the examination of political, legal and economic means as the mechanisms for the settlement of disputes.
Chapter five establishes the recent proposals for the improvement of the current procedures governing the settlement of aviation disputes. Hence, it includes an analysis of the legislative measures of the European Union, the regulations of the World Trade Organization and the norms of North American Free Trade Agreement; all in view of their competence in resolving air transport conflicts.
The conclusion is a summary of the structure and the function of the existing aeronautical dispute settlement system and its future developments.

Abstract:

This dissertation explores the functionality of Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) as an effective mechanism in Electoral Dispute Resolution (EDR) in Nigeria. It considers the evolution and application of ADR in Nigeria as well as the merits and successes of ADR in EDR to assess the essentiality and suitability of ADR in EDR in Nigeria. It also examines the Nigerian electoral dispute setting and international trends in the application of ADR in EDR to determine the practicability of ADR in EDR in Nigeria. The dissertation finds that although the utilisation of ADR is desirable and suitable in EDR in Nigeria, the utilisation of ADR in EDR is not formally endorsed in Nigeria. Furthermore, the current Nigerian sociopolitical atmosphere is not conducive for the efficient application of ADR in EDR. This notwithstanding, research indicates that the adoption of a wide-ranging approach, which entails structural, legislative, institutional, political, attitudinal and socio-economic reforms, would ensure the achievement of the efficient utilisation of ADR in EDR in Nigeria. This dissertation therefore concludes that, despite the present unfavourable condition, ADR can be an efficient mechanism in EDR in Nigeria, given an enabling environment.

Abstract:

Includes bibliographical references
The South African labour market is, after the enactment of the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa and Bill of Rights, faced with the enormous challenge of limitations placed in the workplace to the constitutional guarantees. The limitations referred to are specific to the extent to which some institutions restrict the employee's rights to dignity, privacy and just administrative action. The perception of just administration questions evidence obtained by the use of lie detector (polygraph) tests comes under scrutiny as far as the admissibility and weight of such evidence is concerned. This research paper will recommend and conclude the following: 1. Constitutional guarantees are sacrosanct as enshrined in Sections 8(2),10,12,14,23,25. 39 2. In the absence of SA legislation the common law has developed to the level where the jurisprudence have accepted polygraph testing as admissible when certain conditions are met inter alia: Polygrapher must be registered and qualified; the consent of the employee must be given before test are conducted; the test are used to corroborate evidence such as for example circumstantial evidence. 3. The South African Qualification Authority development of unit standards is an indication of the acceptance of Polygraph testing in the South African Labour Law sphere. 4. The private sectors in South Africa are utilizing these tests in the absence of policies and procedures in the workplace, hence the need for directives, policies and procedures to guide against the abuse or misuse. 5. That polygraph testing have developed to a level of sufficient acceptance in the workplace.

Full text

Abstract:

While several Australian and international studies have explored the family lawyer-client interaction, these studies have been limited to investigations of discrete areas of the lawyerclient relationship and have been necessarily limited in their methodologies. The present study employed a quantitative empirical methodology in an Australian wide field study of 230 family lawyers and 94 clients that investigated the family lawyer-client interaction from a procedural justice framework. Using multivariate analyses, the study establishes that the Tyler and Blader two-component model of procedural justice applies in the lawyer-client dyad and is influenced by the approach of the lawyer, the emotional response of the client, and the level of co-party conflict that the client is experiencing. Further, the study gives meaning to the terms 'conciliatory and constructive' and 'adversarial' as they apply to family law dispute resolution. The study establishes a construct to measure the conciliatory and adversarial approach of family lawyers and identifies that lawyers tend to incorporate a mixture of the two into their work. The results also identify four distinct behavioural factors that characterise the two approaches: the client-centred and interest-based factors characterise the conciliatory approach; and the lawyer-directed and court-focused factors characterise the adversarial. The study found that in terms of perceptions of fairness, and feelings of satisfaction, the clients preferred the lawyers who took a client-centred and interest-based approach, but in circumstances where the clients were experiencing high-levels of conflict, or fear for the safety of their children, they also appreciated the lawyer who was lawyer-directed and court-focused. Overall, the study shows that in order to create a fair and satisfying dispute resolution service for their clients, family lawyers need to maintain a fine balance of family lawyering behaviour. On a general level, the study provides a profile of Australian family lawyers in terms of their approach to dispute resolution, their attitude towards ADR processes and their favoured negotiation styles. It also profiles family law clients in terms of their emotional adjustment to the divorce and their perceptions of the family lawyers assisting them to resolve their disputes. The study substantially expands the procedural justice theory base and has significant implications for practical family law education, government policy, family lawyering, and the ADR and collaborative law movements. The study indicates where future research could benefit these communities.

Msokera, Chisomo Harvey. "Appropriate dispute resolution for women married under customary law in Malawi, with special reference to marital violence." Master's thesis, University of Cape Town, 2017. http://hdl.handle.net/11427/25482.

Full text

Abstract:

As a dispute resolution service provider, the justice system ought to provide effective legal remedies to address the justice needs of people. Apart from having the capacity to provide the legal remedies, the system has to be accessible as well. In marital violence disputes, one of the general interests of both the State and the affected individual spouses is to prevent further abuse. Courts offer this remedy, among others, by imposing restraining orders, which are backed up by punitive threats. On the other hand, facilitative mechanisms of dispute resolution such as mediation do not have the power to impose punishment on contemptuous parties. However, facilitative dispute resolution processes encourage joint problem solving, which is desirable in maintaining a workable relationship between spouses. This research argues that in order to ensure optimum access to justice in marital violence disputes there is a need for a dispute resolution system that offers facilitative and advisory mechanisms of dispute resolution alongside court processes. However, in Malawi, rural citizens face the barriers of language and use of English law-orientated procedures when accessing courts. Furthermore, some customary law practices and statutory law provisions encourage the view that mediation in marital violence disputes precludes concurrent access to court remedies. This research explores the challenges which this current approach to marriage dispute resolution poses to women married under customary law. It answers the question whether the justice system, with its English law-orientated procedures and the tenet of mandatory mediation or reconciliation, offers appropriate and effective mechanisms of resolving marital violence disputes to women married under customary law.

Abstract:

Public Education like other sectors such as Health, International Relations, Finance, Local Government and Environmental Affairs that fall under Public Administration as well as business in private, factory and industrial institutions are embraced or characterized by the concept of employer and employee relationships. These relationships are not always wholesome and harmonious but are overshadowed by disputes and strikes which bring about paralysis and polarization of the operation of business and educational stability in public service and administration sectors as well as at learning institutions. These disputes arise from inter alia, disagreements regarding wage negotiations, unfair dismissals, unfair labour practice involving appointments, promotions and transfers, mutual interest, severance pay, automatically dismissals, operational requirements dismissals (both single and multiple), disclosure of information disputes, organizational rights disputes, agency shop disputes, picketing disputes, unfair discrimination disputes in terms of the Employment Equity of Act as amended, and disputes involving the enforcement of collective agreements or the non-compliance with the Basic Conditions of Employment Act and others. Whilst there are similar trends and patterns of disputes in all these sectors, they are, however, not only differ in intensity and rapid occurrence but also in how they are negotiated and settled because the work environments are different at the level of operation, administration and management. What is common in all disputes is that they are all conciliated and arbitrated by arbitrators at the Commission for Conciliation, and Arbitration (hereafter referred to as the CCMA), Education Labour Relations Council (ELRC), Private Resolution Agencies and the Labour Court. The Apartheid era administration had labour laws which dealt with these disputes, but were not progressive and effective in handling them. This placed a heavy burden on the new ANC led government to change the laws of the previous regime. Most of these changes happened in the labour relations and the labour policies. In view of the above situation, the new political dispensation that came into existence and operation in 1994 developed a new labour legislative framework with specific focus on the review of the collective bargaining dispensation. Of significant importance was the entrenchment of labour rights in the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa, 1996. Section 23 of the Constitution is extensive in highlighting the importance to protect amongst others, the right of every trade union to organize and engage in collective bargaining, disclosure of information, restricted rights in domestic sector, rights to establish threshold of representativeness, organizational rights in collective agreements and disputes about organizational rights.

Abstract:

Arbitration as a process of dispute resolution has been pivotal in addressing a lot of business needs to have the dispute resolved within a short period and with less inconveniences to their business. The principle of confidentiality gives impetus to the process. The skill of the arbitrators and the general party autonomy has made the process and awards to be fully complied. Despite the monumental progress made in the field of arbitration as a means of dispute settlement, the process has been beset by reversal which is inherent in the Arbitration Act itself thereby whittling down the advantages ascribed to the process. To this end, the study therefore highlights the historical development of arbitration in Zambia. The process of arbitration and its role in enhancing access to justice will also be examined. The advantages and how the same have been weakened by the Arbitration Act, other legislations and indeed the interpretive impositions by the court will be investigated. Among other provisions which fly in the teeth of the entire process is its usually unqualified attachment to the court system without cognisance of the aspiration of the entire process of arbitration. To redress these weaknesses in the Act and the rules which guide the arbitration process, this study will spur reforms so as to bring the law into conformity with the expectations of the end users.

Full text

Abstract:

'J. Michael Finger once portrayed the anti-dumping regime as a "witches' brew of the worst of policy making: power politics, bad economics, and shameful public administration.'' The thesis looks at the role of competition in anti-dumping investigations. With the growth in the initiation of anti-dumping investigations, there is concern that the limitations in the anti-dumping regulation open the system up to abuse. Article VI of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) 1994 describes dumping as the act of selling goods in an export market at a lower price than the country of origin. This act is comparable to that of price discrimination or predation in competition law. However, the imprecise definition of key terms in anti-dumping law such as 'normal value', and 'material injury' permits industries to take advantage of these loopholes to gain protection from foreign competitors. This challenge has been reflected in the South African poultry industry where anti-dumping measures have been used as a way of protecting the market. This is reflected in the comment from ITAC who stated that it was important to 'give consideration to a country being able to produce a strategic protein source but at affordable prices… [And] A balance between the viability of domestic producers of a strategic industry with the affordability of food for the lower income group is critical for food security.' Recommendations have been put forward to deal with the limitations in the anti-dumping regulation with some calling for the removal of the anti-dumping legislation to be replaced with an international competition network. However the political nature of anti-dumping suggests that the best way to safeguard competition in dumping investigations is to incorporate competition principles in anti-dumping regulation. These include redefining key terms which are ambiguous, as well as increased cooperation between the trade and competition regulators to ensure the promotion of trade and competition.

Abstract:

Magister Legum - LLM
Alternative dispute resolution refers to forms of dispute resolution, other than traditional and formal court based litigation. A notable benefit of alternative dispute resolution is that different processes are available for resolving a particular dispute in the most effective and efficient manner possible. Alternative dispute resolution includes but is not limited to arbitration, mediation, negotiation, conciliation and facilitation. The Constitution of the Republic of South Africa, 1996, lists human dignity, equality and the advancement of human rights and freedoms as the founding values of the Republic of South Africa. In terms of section 9(1) of the Constitution everyone is regarded as equal before the law and has the right to equal protection and benefit of the law in South Africa. Often it is however argued that traditional court based litigation hinders the full enjoyment of these rights by individuals. Consequently, alternative dispute resolution is attractive as an alternative to court based litigation as it is regarded as less expensive, more time effective and results in less conflict when it comes to resolving disputes in the most accessible, effective and efficient manner possible, in both developed and developing countries. The study will first focus on the pitfalls to traditional court based litigation in South Africa. The relevant legislation and processes which provide for alternative dispute resolution processes in South Africa, with specific focus on alternative dispute resolution in labour disputes, will be considered. Consideration will be given to the provision of alternative dispute resolution as contained in the Constitution, the Labour Relations Act 66 of 1995, the Rules for the Conduct of Proceedings before the CCMA of 2003 and the Arbitration Act 42 of 1965. The study will thereafter proceed to consider the use of alternative dispute resolution in labour disputes in Brazil, Russia, India and China, who, together with South Africa, are collectively referred to as BRICS. These five nations are considered the world’s leading emerging economies, with similar economic capabilities and demographics.

Abstract:

From late in the eighteenth century through World War I, states increasingly resolved their differences through arbitration; entering into over 1000 agreements to address past controversies and provide for future disputes. Rather than relying entirely on traditional diplomatic methods, states responded to the practical needs of an increasingly complex, commercial, and bureaucratic world. They used mechanisms with some legalistic components; although these procedures remained under political control. Arbitration never prevented a war; the efforts of the Anglo-American peace movement, later augmented by continental activities and the rise of the international legal community, had but small and indirect effects. While appearing responsive to the new influence of public opinion, states only made agreements to arbitrate that were highly controlled and which typically encompassed only relationships and parties for whom war was already quite unlikely. Western powers also extensively used arbitral agreements to resolve and protect their imperial interests, both formal and informal.

The traditional historiography of this field has been skewed by its emergence out of that peace movement, with its millennial, liberal, Eurocentric, and juridical biases. As a result, the significance of the Vienna settlements in launching the modern arbitral process has been overlooked, the Jay Treaty and the "Alabama Claims" case have been mythologized, the distinctive role of Latin American states has been sidelined, and the meaning of the Hague Conferences has been misunderstood.

States are political animals and their "states' system" was effective in using arbitration as a shared tool while preserving their essential political discretion and managing their domestic and international publics.

ENGLISH ABSTRACT: South African law does not recognise an inherent right to the existing, unobstructed view from a property. Nevertheless, seemingly in disregard of this general principle, property owners often attempt to protect such views and courts sometimes in fact grant orders that provide such protection. This dissertation aims to establish whether South African law does indeed not acknowledge a right to a view and whether there are any exceptions to the general rule against the recognition of the right to a view. The principle that the existing view from a property is not an inherent property right is rooted in Roman and Roman-Dutch law. This principle was received in early South African case law. Inconsistency in the application of the principle in recent case law renders its development uncertain. An analysis of recent decisions shows that the view from a property is sometimes protected in terms of servitudes or similar devices, or by virtue of legislation. In other instances, property owners attempt to prevent the erection of a neighbouring building that will interfere with their existing views, based either on a substantive right or an administrative shortcoming. When the protection of view is based on a limited real right (servitudes or similar devices) or legislation, it is generally effective and permanent. Conversely, when it is founded on a substantive right to prevent building on neighbouring land or an administrative irregularity rendering a neighbouring building objectionable, the protection is indirect and temporary. A comparative study confirms that the position regarding the protection of view is similar in English and Dutch law. Constitutional analysis in terms of the methodology developed by the Constitutional Court in FNB indicates that cases where view is protected are not in conflict with section 25(1) of the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa, 1996. The investigation concludes with an evaluation of policy considerations which show that the position with regard to a right to a view in South African law is rooted in legitimate policy rationales.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: 'n Inherente reg op die bestaande, onbelemmerde uitsig vanaf 'n eiendom word nie deur die Suid-Afrikaanse reg erken nie. Desnieteenstaande poog eienaars dikwels om die uitsig vanaf hul eiendomme te beskerm en soms staan die howe bevele tot dien effekte toe. Dit skep die indruk dat die Suid-Afrikaanse reg wel die bestaande uitsig vanaf 'n eiendom as 'n inherente eiendomsreg erken of dat sodanige uitsig minstens onder sekere omstandighede beskerm kan word. Hierdie verhandeling het ten doel om onsekerhede betreffende die algemene beginsel oor 'n reg op uitsig uit die weg te ruim en om lig te werp op gevalle waar 'n onbelemmerde uitsig wel beskerm word. Die Romeinse en Romeins-Hollandse reg het nie 'n reg op uitsig erken nie. Hierdie posisie is deur vroeë regspraak in die Suid-Afrikaanse regstelsel opgeneem. 'n Ondersoek na latere Suid-Afrikaanse regspraak toon egter aan dat howe wel onder sekere omstandighede, skynbaar strydig met die gemeenregtelike beginsel, beskerming aan die onbelemmerde uitsig vanaf eiendomme verleen. 'n Eerste kategorie sake behels gevalle waar die uitsig vanaf 'n eiendom deur 'n beperkte saaklike reg, in die vorm van 'n serwituut of 'n soortgelyke maatreël, of ingevolge wetgewing beskerm word. In 'n tweede kategorie sake word die beskerming van 'n uitsig deur middel van 'n aanval op die goedkeuring van 'n buureienaar se bouplanne bewerkstellig. Sodanige aanval kan óf op 'n substantiewe reg óf op 'n administratiewe tekortkoming berus. Die onderskeie kategorieë verskil wat betref die doelmatigheid en omvang van die beskerming wat verleen word. 'n Saaklike reg of wetgewing verleen meestal effektiewe en permanente beskerming. Hierteenoor het 'n aanval op die goedkeuring van 'n buureienaar se bouplanne hoogstens indirekte en tydelike beskerming van die uitsig tot gevolg. Regsvergelyking bevestig dat die Engelse en Nederlandse reg die Suid-Afrikaanse posisie ten opsigte van'n reg op uitsig tot 'n groot mate eggo. Grondwetlike analise aan die hand van die FNB-metodologie dui daarop dat die gevalle waar uitsig wel beskerming geniet nie strydig is met artikel 25(1) van die Grondwet van die Republiek van Suid-Afrika, 1996 nie. Bowendien regverdig beleidsgronde die behoud van die huidige beginsel in die Suid-Afrikaanse reg.

Abstract:

Effective, efficient and expeditious resolution of labour disputes plays a crucial role in terms of the realization of one of the primary objectives of the Labour Relations Act (hereinafter referred to as “the Act”) which is the achievement of labour peace. Although there is no proper definition of a dispute offered by the Act, there are several elements raised by authors within the labour relations and labour law fields which constitute a dispute. Two types of disputes are discussed, namely disputes of right (emanating from entitlement) and disputes of interest (based on demands not provided for, and these are also known as disputes based on matters of mutual interests). Labour relations in South Africa has a history that is tarnished by segregation and dualism, where there was a system of labour relations and labour statutes for all races (except for Africans). The first statute dealing somewhat comprehensive with labour disputes, the Industrial Conciliation Act, did not apply to Africans. This situation (exclusion of Africans) prevailed until the early 1980’s. Therefore, although the apartheid system was legislated in 1948, its segregation practices based on race existed long before 1948 and also extended to the workplaces. The turning point in the labour relations arena in South Africa was the appointment of the Wiehahn Commission. As a result of the recommendations by this Commission, African Workers were for the first time included in labour legislation. So, of great interest is the fact that African Workers attained labour rights before the demise of the apartheid system. The birth of the Act with its dispute resolution fora like the Commission for Conciliation, Mediation and Arbitration (hereinafter referred to as “the CCMA”), Bargaining Councils, Labour Court and the Labour Appeal Court, revolutionized dispute resolution in the country. However, there are some challenges that have emerged even within the new system. Prior to 1993, labour relations in the public service, simply just did not exist. This was mainly due to the fact that the public service was excluded from mainstream legal framework governing labour relations. The State was very much in control of what was happening with regards to employment relations in the public service. There were some structures developed for engagement with the State like the Public Service Commission (PSC) which was politicized to push the agenda of apartheid, Public Servants Association (PSA) for White Public Servants, Public Service Union (PSU) for Indian Public Servants and Public Service League for Coloured Public Servants. There was no structure established for African Public Servants though. Nevertheless, these established structures were useless. One of the recommendations of the Wiehahn Commission was the inclusion of public servants within the mainstream labour relations framework and this was never pursued by the then government. It took the wave of strikes in the early 1990’s for the Act to be extended to the public service. Even with the inclusion of public service within the scope of the Act, there are still challenges pertinent to the public service. Central to these challenges is the problem of fragmentation in terms of approach regarding dispute resolution and the fact that there are too many pieces of legislation dealing with dispute resolution. This situation has also resulted in a jurisdictional debacle within the public service. Also, there is a huge challenge in terms of dealing with abscondments / desertion within the public service. In terms of the way forward, there is an initiative to streamline the public service. In this regard, there is a Draft Single Public Service Bill and also the Public Service Amendment Bill.

Abstract:

The choice of a labour market regulatory system in any given social context is crucial for the economic development of that country. In South Africa, a challenge has been made to the key players in the labour environment to choose whether the primary focus should be on creating better jobs or whether the main challenge should be in creating many or more jobs (Baskin: 2004). These two conflicting interests, though almost intertwined to each other, are however standing on a separate footing. Of late in South Africa, there have been cries for an urgent need to deregulate the labour market in the quest to create more jobs and free the small and medium businesses to participate in the economy without stringent measures. Concern has been raised about the unavailability of jobs for the people of South Africa. The major challenge facing the Government is the need to create more jobs. In Swaziland, the problem of job scarcity is reaching a crisis level. A large section of the economically active population is unemployed. Previously, Swaziland was considered to be an ideal place to conduct business by many enterprises in Southern Africa. The new political dispensation in South Africa and the political stability in Mozambique have brought about a sudden and devastating effect on Swaziland. Businesses are closing down operations and very few enterprises are showing an interest to invest in that country. This notwithstanding, Swaziland has opted to use South Africa's system of labour market regulation. The essence of the paper will be to examine the choice of the labour market regulatory systems between these two countries and to try to establish the successes and failures of each system in its given context. The main focus will be on the dispute resolution mechanism that each system adopts and whether such system works well given the cultural, social, economic and political dispensation of that country. The institutions that will be discussed are the Commission for Conciliation, Mediation and Arbitration (CCMA), the Conciliation, Mediation and Arbitration Commission (CMAC), the Labour Court and the Industrial Court. At a later stage, the discussion takes a twist and focuses on the competing and overlapping jurisdiction between the labour dispute resolution systems as set out in labour legislations on the one hand, and the common law power of the High Courts to decide on labour related matters on the other hand. The idea is to shed some light on the difficulties that may arise if the jurisdictional problems are not resolved and that this may in turn impact negatively on the labour market regulatory systems.

Abstract:

This thesis highlights how the indigenous people (Jummas) in the Chittagong Hill Tracts (CHT), Bangladesh survived with their distinct identity despite land and resource alienation over a century. This survival makes the CHT a field of legal pluralism, where the Jumma land title and community ownership has retained space competing with state imposed discriminatory laws. I argue that the state law regime in the CHT is based on the hegemony of Bangalee nationalism rather than legal pluralism. The ineffectiveness of the Land Dispute Resolution Commission for over a decade is directly linked to the non-recognition of legal pluralism and a bias for assimilation. The state is systemically depriving the Jummas from their land and resources and relying on liberalist claim of autonomy and equal worth of citizens for justification. Given the legal and constitutional framework of the country the pluralistic claims of the Jummas for control over land and resources are always weighed against these principles. Therefore, the study assesses what the state has to offer for legal pluralism operating within a liberal framework. By analyzing different tenets of liberalism the study concludes that liberalism can at best offer a lesser form of legal pluralism; as it avoids recognition of collective rights at any cost. Collective rights are central to the Jumma land tenure and identity. Therefore, the thesis does not suggest any definitive steps for placing Jumma land rights within the liberal framework. Rather it stresses for a dialogue between the two separate national identities and legal traditions in the context of historical deprivation of the Jummas.
Cette thèse souligne la façon dont la communauté indigène (Jumma) dans les monts de Chittagong (Chittagong Hill Tracts – CHT), au Bangladesh, a maintenu une identité distincte malgré l'aliénation des terres et des ressources de ses membres durant plus d'un siècle. La survie de cette identité fait des CHT un champ de pluralisme juridique, où le titre foncier et la propriété communautaire jumma ont conservé un espace qui est en concurrence avec des lois discriminatoires imposées par l'État. J'argumente que le régime législatif de l'État appliqué dans les CHT est fondé sur l'hégémonie du nationalisme bangladais plutôt que sur le pluralisme juridique. L'inefficacité de la Commission des règlements des différends territoriaux, en anglais (LDRC) est directement liée à la non-reconnaissance du pluralisme juridique et à une tendance à l'assimilation, durant plus d'une décennie. De façon systémique, l'État prive les Jumma de leurs terres et ressources sous prétexte d'instaurer l'autonomie et l'égalité du droit selon l'idéologie libéraliste. Compte tenu du cadre législatif et constitutionnel du pays, les revendications pluralistes des Jumma pour le contrôle de leurs terres et ressources sont toujours soupesées contre ces principes. Ainsi, cette étude évalue ce que l'État peut offrir pour que le pluralisme juridique opère dans un cadre libéral. Par l'analyse des différents principes du libéralisme, cette étude conclut que le libéralisme peut, tout au mieux, offrir une forme atténuée de pluralisme juridique, comme elle évite la reconnaissance des droits collectifs à n'importe que prix. Les droits collectifs sont au cœur de l'occupation des terres et de l'identité des Jumma. Ainsi, cette thèse ne suggère aucune mesure définitive pour inclure les droits fonciers de Jumma dans le cadre libéral. En revanche, elle insiste sur la nécessité d'un dialogue entre les deux identités nationales distinctes et les traditions juridiques dans le contexte de privation historique des Jumma.

The need for a viable alternative to court litigation of intellectual property disputes is much needed in modern legal systems. IP court litigation has become expensive, time consuming, and poor decision making has led to unpredictable and inconsistent results. This paper explores the possibility of using alternative methods, such as mediation and arbitration, to resolve complex IP disputes. The paper critiques modern judicial systems and analyses how alternative methods may be better suited to the resolution of IP disputes. Particular attention is paid to the issues present in the South African legal system and what steps are needed to implement a workable and regulated alternative to the High Court system. The paper concludes that alternative dispute mechanisms are well suited to the resolution of IP disputes but that South Africa needs to take progressive steps towards the realisation of such a system.

Abstract:

The focus of this minor dissertation is on the dispute resolution methods proposed by Action 14 of the Base Erosion Profit Shifting (BEPS) Project. The BEPS Project' was introduced in 2013 by the OECD working together with the G20 and other states to reform the international tax framework. The reform was necessary to deal with the challenges posed by globalisation. The existing international tax framework had not changed for many years and was unable to deal with these new challenges. As stated by the OECD in its Explanatory Statement in 2013, there was a need to build an international tax system to support economic growth and a resilient global economy. The report highlighted that the loss to international corporate income tax caused by these challenges was between 4% and l 0% of global corporate income revenues. As part of the proposed reforms, the report highlighted the need for new measures to address the problem of BEPS as well as provide a structure to support these newly introduced measures. Improving the international dispute resolution mechanisms was identified as an essential structural reform to support the new BEPS measures, as it was anticipated these measures would give rise to more inter-State disputes.

Abstract:

The dynamic social and economic conditions in Namibia warranted a periodic review of labour legislation. Given these needs, uhe then Ministry of Labour, undertook a project in 1998, to assess the effectiveness of the first post kndependence Labour Act, 1992 (Act No 6 of 1992) a trirartite task force was established which recommended the amendment of the 1992 Act. This led to the enactment of the Labour Act, 2004 which introduced a new system of dispute prevention and resolution. However, the 2004 Act could not be put into effect in its entirety, because of its technical flaws and the fact that the Namibian Employers Federation (NEF) took issue with some of the provisions of the Act, such as leave provisions. In 2005, the Ministry of Labour and Social Welfare with its social partners undertook a complete technical review of the entire 2004 Act. As a result, In 2007, the new Labour Bill 2007 was tabled in Parliament, which eventually adopted it as the Labour Act, 2007 (Act No 11 of 2007) which became operational on the 1st November 2008. The new Labour Act, 2007 (Act No 11 of 2007) brings in sweeping changes to the familiar terrain of labour law and industrial relations practice in Namibia. The new Act, has done aware with the District Labour Court system, in its place comes the Labour Commissioner. The rudimentary dispute- settlement mechanisms of the old (first ) Labour Act, 1992 ( Act No 6 of 1992) have made way for the more sophisticated, yet speedier and more economical system of alternative dispute resolution through arbitration and conciliation by the Labour Commissioner. The Labour Act, 2007, requires parties to the labour dispute to seek conciliation before either taking industrial action or seeking adjudicative solutions to the dispute. Not only does the Labour Act, establish or makes provision for the appointment of the Labour Commissioner to provide for dispute resolution, it also permits parties to establish their own process for dispute resolution through a private arbitration route. Faced with this daunting array of untested rules and institutions, I have approached the writing of this work with some trepidation. My aim is to provide a thoroughgoing commentary on the provisions relating to dispute resolution. In the absence of much authoritative interpretation, I had to rely heavily on past practices and foreign South African precedents to identify the construction that judges and arbitrators are likely to arrive at. The present treatise provides a, comprehensive and integrated commentary for all involvement in the resolution of labour disputes in Namibia; it further provides rules and procedures which govern statutory disputes resolution through the Labour Commissioner. I sincerely hope that this paper, will prove useful to all those involved in labour law and industrial relations practice, as well as to teachers and students of this subject.
