Live JHB Disciplinary Enquiry & Arbitration Master Class

This comprehensive 2-day master class bridges the crucial gap between internal disciplinary processes and external CCMA arbitration. Delegates gain the full set of practical, legal, and procedural skills required to manage misconduct cases—from the initial investigation through to defending the matter before a commissioner. The course is designed to ensure your disciplinary decisions can withstand external scrutiny and that your organisation maintains procedural and substantive fairness at every stage.

Day 1: Mastering Internal Disciplinary Processes

• Legal framework: LRA, natural justice, and procedural fairness

• Conducting preliminary investigations and gathering evidence effectively

• Formulating clear, accurate charges and avoiding drafting pitfalls

• Chairing disciplinary enquiries: procedure, control, and guided decision-making

• Evaluating evidence and deciding guilt on a balance of probabilities

• Documentation best practices—how to produce arbitration-ready records

• Managing virtual hearings and handling technology requirements

Day 2: From Enquiry to Arbitration

• Understanding how commissioners assess internal processes

• CCMA rules and procedures—from referral to final award

• Preparing and presenting your case at arbitration: strategy, bundling, witnesses

• Evidence law in arbitration: admissibility, weight, and common challenges

• Defending procedural and substantive fairness

• Avoiding common arbitration pitfalls in misconduct cases

• Case law updates shaping discipline and arbitration

• Practical exercises: Mock enquiry → arbitration preparation simulation

This master class gives delegates the confidence to run robust, legally compliant disciplinary processes and build cases that hold up under CCMA or bargaining council review.
