Arbitration Appeals at the CCMA or Bargaining Council

There is no appeal against an arbitration award.

But either party may request the Labour Court to review the arbitrator’s decision, if they think:

  • The arbitrator exceeded her or his powers
  • There was something legally wrong in the proceedings
  • The arbitrator did not consider relevant issues in accordance with the law

They must ask for a review within 6 weeks of receiving the arbitration decision.
