How much has her Department spent to date on the hearing of a certain person, whose name has been furnished to her Department for the purpose of her reply, including on the Labour Court hearings?
The current cost for the individual in question’s disciplinary hearing is R663 326.00 that includes legal representation cost of R581 026.00 and the Presiding Officer of R82 300.00.
R103 718.50 of the R581 026.00 was spent for counsel on the Labour Court matter. This was an application brought by the individual in question, in an attempt to interdict his disciplinary proceeding for an indefinite period, which the Labour Court struck off the roll.
I may also add that the disciplinary hearing lasted 26 days, of which 19 were used by the individual in question’s defence to argue their case.
