November’s free LexisNexis Case Law Index is now out – sign up here The November index of the free, online LexisNexis Case Law repository is now available bringing you up to speed on some interesting precedent setting cases considered by South Africa’s courts recently. November proved to be a busy month for high profile cases in the area of Constitutional Law, including Zuma and the State Capture Report and Malema and the Riotous Assemblies Act. Another matter in the November Index concerns the right of domestic workers to compensation for occupational injuries and diseases. The Constitutional Court noted that 26 years into our democracy, the Compensation for Occupational Injuries and Diseases Act (COIDA) does not offer protection for domestic workers. The Constitutional Court confirmed the High Court declaration that section 1(xix) (v) of the act, which specifically excludes domestic workers from the definition of ‘employee’, was constitutionally invalid and ordered this be retrospective from 27 April 1994.
