On 20 September 2016, the Labour Court in the matter of Casual Workers' Advice Office and Others v CCMA and others J645/16, issued an order declaring that "on a proper interpretation of Rule 25, read with Rule 35, of the CCMA Rules and the provisions of the Labour Relations Act 66 of 1995, a commissioner has a discretion to authorise any party to CCMA proceedings to be represented by any other person, on good cause shown."

The effect of this order is that a commissioner will now have the discretion under the CCMA Rules to allow representation at CCMA proceedings by persons other than those listed in Rule 25. For instance, an employee may now be represented by another employee or persons from NGOs, as was the case in this matter.

The CCMA has issued a practice note 2/2016 to this effect and sets out the procedure that must be followed when persons other than those listed in Rule 25 wish to represent parties.
