When is a restraint of trade reasonable?

A recent Labour Court judgment highlights why restraint clauses must be carefully tailored to the employer’s legitimate interests. A geographically broad restriction, speculative concerns and the rejection of meaningful employee undertakings may undermine an employer’s attempt to enforce a restraint.

The Court declined to enforce the sweeping non-competition clause but converted the employee’s narrower undertakings into an enforceable court order.

To the woman who came before us, to the women we are and to the woman who will follow in these footsteps - we are grateful to you for being our examples, we are in awe of your leadership and to quote Maya Angelou “Each time a woman stands up for herself, without knowing it possibly, without claiming it, she stands up for all women.” May we and those that come after us, stand up.

Can a business avoid liability simply by displaying an "Enter At Your Own Risk" sign?

While disclaimer notices are generally recognised under South African law, they do not provide unlimited protection.
