‘Its hard to survive in the jungle when you’ve been trained in the zoo’. This great quote from Sonja Blignaut is a good way to distinguish between professional mediators and people who prefer to be known as dispute resolvers. Mediators being ‘the jungle’ of human interaction and dispute resolution the more structured solution focused, ‘zoo’, where the humans are caged in a back room. Keep the process structured with everyone staying in their silos. Just cut a deal. The words mediation and mediator are powerful universally recognised terms. They have always sat uncomfortably with the dehumanised legal professions litigious dispute resolution model. For example, there was an attempt in 2016 to change the name of the Australian National Mediation Conference to the National Dispute Resolution Conference, which fortunately was defeated. We now see them creeping into the Australian Mediator Standards. AMDRAS allows the dispute resolvers to continue to distinguish themselves from mediators within the accreditation scheme. This division can be traced back to the legal professions existential crisis resulting from the failure of litigation as a viable business model in our post-industrial, fluid complex adaptive world. The profession can’t quite let go of the concept of the expert dispute resolver to whom you hand all your problems to and, for a modest fee, will sort it out, no problem. They claim to possess more expertise than the people who created the problem. They are the heroic ‘Dispute Resolver’! The bottom line here: People who create the problem need to be given an opportunity to find their own way out. What the fluid, jungle like, term mediation offers the legal profession is a pathway to find a place for humanity in the law and its processes. A chance to intergrate with the humanised interconnected social and commercial world we now inhabit. A post industrial world. One of the great things that has come out of the recent review of the mediator standards of the MSB is that it has brought this distinction to the surface which can be named and dealt with. The jungle is a place of adventure an opportunity and is the world we actually live in. Embrace it.

Is #MCA providing appropriate solutions?? I have attempted to file DIR-6 multiple times to update the particulars of Directors. However, the form neither saves nor submits. The Act requires notification of changes in directors' particulars within 30 days, but with the form not functioning, who should be held accountable? Despite submitting multiple tickets and making numerous phone calls, the issue remains unresolved. The facts of the case: The Directors reside in Côte d'Ivoire. When selecting this country from the pickup list provided by the MCA, the form fails to save due to the special characters in the country's name. Is there anyone who can resolve this issue or provide further contact/connection with the MCA? #MCA #DIR-6 #Querynotresolving #CAACT2013

The Belgian Competition Authority has fined Securitas, G4S and Seris more than EUR 47 million to sanction their participation in a complex cartel scheme in the private security sector The practices in question consisted in price fixing agreements, the distortion of public procurement and other tender procedures ("bid rigging"), as well as no-poaching arrangements, and lasted from 2008 until 2020.   The prosecution of bid rigging practices is a top priority of the Belgian Competition Authority (BCA). This decision also contributes to the development of a growing body of precedents in Europe clarifying that naked no-poaching practices are illegal by object under domestic and EU competition rules. The companies involved acknowledged their participation in the infringement and accepted the terms of a settlement proposed by the BCA's Investigation and Prosecution Service. According to the BCA leniency program, Securitas benefited from full immunity of fines, while G4S and Seris were granted a reduction in fines of 50% and 40%, respectively.

The company will need to be compliant before any amendment will be accepted by CIPC. Thereafter, a name reservation will need to be done whereby the name options will be assessed by CIPC. Should the names not be already registered or infringe on an already registered name, the name will be cleared by CIPC by means of a CoR9.4. The company will then need to apply for an updated Memorandum of Incorporation (MOI) reflecting the new name. #companychanges #CIPC #companycompliance #namechange
