Summary and Analysis of the Case Woolworths (Pty) Ltd v Commission for
Conciliation, Mediation and Arbitration and Others (PA12/2020) [2021] ZALAC
49; [2022] 3 BLLR 296 (LAC); (2022) 43 ILJ 839 (LAC)
1. Summary of the Facts: The case involved Woolworths (Pty) Ltd (the appellant),
which dismissed an employee on the grounds of misconduct. The employee was
accused of gross misconduct related to her failure to report a bribe that was offered to
her by a supplier. Woolworths argued that the employee’s failure to report the incident
violated the company’s code of conduct, which explicitly required employees to report
any attempts of bribery or corruption.
