            <description><![CDATA[In the economic turmoil caused by Covid-19 lockdown, many people have not been able to pay their residential rent. Under government lockdown regulations – which try to ameliorate this problem – where do tenants and landlords stand legally? Two main scenarios emerge in the regulations passed by government in terms of the Disaster Management Act, says Grant Nirenstein, director at law firm Knowles Husain Lindsay Inc. One is where the tenant is actually occupying the landlord’s premises, and the other is where a residential lease agreement has been signed but the tenant has been prevented by the lockdown regulations from taking occupation.]]></description>

However, Grant Nirenstein, director at law firm Knowles Hussain Lindsay Inc, says proving the infection occurred in the workplace could still be difficult.

            <description><![CDATA[The unprecedented halt to business activity brought on by the coronavirus lockdown has many businesses wondering if their insurance will cover any of their losses. It is complicated, explains Nicholas Taitz, director at legal firm Knowles Husain Lindsay Inc. “Inevitably, the consequence of lockdown is that businesses across the board are suffering,” says Taitz. “At the very least, they face loss of revenue, laying-off of staff and supply chain failures. At worst, they are forced to shut down for good.”]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[In recent years, the world has seen a marked growth in a sub-category of the services sector which is often referred to as the “gig” or “collaborative” economy. It derives its name from the ad hoc nature of the work performed and is, by and large, a technologically driven environment in which temporary placements and short-term engagements are common. The rise of mobile app-based platforms has fuelled impromptu work opportunities ranging from making deliveries to driving passengers, but has ...]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[In terms of section 22 of the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa, Act No. 108 of 1996, and in the interests of justice, every citizen has the right to choose their trade, occupation or profession freely. As is the case for all other rights in the bill of rights, this right is not absolute and as a caveat to it, there are laws that regulate how individuals should conduct their trade, occupation or profession. An example of this is the law regulating the issue of corporate opportunities. Corporate opportunities defined The term corporate ‘opportunity’ is an elastic concept and as a result there is no settled definition of it in our law but in general terms it is described as any economic or business opportunity, material or immaterial property, to which the company has a claim. The breach of a director’s fiduciary duty in relation to corporate opportunities and competition is a topic which has relished much attention in our law.]]></description>

            <title>Whether excessive pricing has been clarified and settled in South African Competition law</title>

            <description><![CDATA[In South Africa, excessive pricing is regarded as one of the most harmful contraventions of the Competition Act as it has an explicit damaging impact on consumers. It is within the scope of abuse of dominance which directly contradicts the preamble of the Act which aims to “promote the efficiency, adaptability and development of the economy”. However, the Act does not define the precise definition of excessive pricing. The ambiguity and extensive debates which have resulted from this were brought to light in the cases of Mittal Steel South Africa Limited and Others v Harmony Gold Mining Company Limited and Another and Sasol Chemical Industries Limited v Competition Commission. I. SECTION 8(a) OF THE COMPETITION ACT]]></description>
