LexisNexis: Labour
law through the cases
“Several years ago Theuns Viljoen, Publishing Director of
Butterworths, came up with the idea of a reference work that
would point labour lawyers towards “good law” amidst the
changing terrain of labour jurisprudence. Labour Law
Through the Cases was born from that idea.
The work sets out to provide a summary of judicial
interpretations of South African labour statutes on a
section-by-section basis. It is not a textbook, in that it
does not try to provide a scholarly commentary or argue for
the authors’ points of view. Nor does it try to reflect in
any detail on the reasons for judicial decisions, which
would have given the work an unmanageable volume. The
central aim is to offer ready access to the case-law as it
is and thereby, we hope, provide labour lawyers with a
common starting point in the development of new arguments.”
