Labour Relations Act, 1995 (Act No. 66 of 1995)

Purchase

9.1	The Council may, on application, postpone a conciliation hearing only in special circumstances. This policy is based on the fact that the Act emphasises expeditious dispute resolution and postponement inevitable causes delay.

9.2	The Council will not allow matters to be postponed unless:

9.2.1

there is good reason to do so;

9.2.2

the application is in good faith;

9.2.3

the application is made as soon as practicable; and

9.2.4

the other parties to the dispute are not unduly prejudiced.

9.3	If a postponement will result in expiry of the 30-day period allowed for conciliation (in Rule 25 of the CCMA Rules), the party seeking the postponement must furnish the Council with written proof that the parties have agreed to extend the 30-day period.
