Dear Sikhulisele,

Thank you for bringing this complaint to our attention.

We confirm that Ms Prenitha Chetty and Thavamanie Naidoo our Labour Claims Department have contacted you regarding this complaint and that they have discussed this with you in full detail.

We confirm further that Jarvis Jacobs Attorneys were appointed by Scorpion to represent your wife in her labour case herein and that both your wife and the attorney have confirmed that your wife’s case was referred to the CCMA where it was heard both on Conciliation and Arbitration. Further that on both instances, your wife was duly represented by an attorney from the above firm.

As discussed, a CCMA Commissioner ruled that your wife’s dismissal was both procedurally and substantively fair and therefore dismissed her case. We have sought an opinion from your attorney who also advised both your wife and ourselves that there are no prospects of success with a review application in this matter.

It is therefore in the light of the above that we advised you that we will not be providing further legal cover in this matter.

We trust this addresses your complaint. However, should you have further queries regarding this matter or wish to clarify anything, kindly do not hesitate to contact Prenitha Chetty or Thavamanie Naidoo on 011 -*** or our Customer Care Centre on ***where our staff will gladly assist you

Thanks and regards,

Mboneni Rathiyaya,

GM – Legal and Customer Care
