This collection was made possible by a donation from the Institute of Development and Labour Law, University of Cape Town. The industrial court, as we know it today, only came into being 1 October 1979 following the Wiehahn Commission's recommendations. Its predecessor, the Industrial Tribunal, consisted of retired officials from all walks of life. There was no court building and the tribunal travelled all over the country, including the then South West Africa, to determine labour disputes. The industrial court has countrywide jurisdiction and it can therefore sit anywhere within the Republic. It operated countrywide from its permanent seat in Pretoria until 1985, when a permanent court was established in Cape Town as well as one in Durban in 1986. The Industrial Court was later replaced by the CCMA by means of the advent of the Labour Relations Act 66 of 1995 (LRA). |
