labourcourtsTimesLIVE reports that Labour and Labour Appeal Court Judge President Edwin Molahlehi has issued directives dealing with the temporary relocation of all Labour Court Johannesburg hearings to other locations from 2 January 2026.

This is due to renovations at the Labour Court’s Braamfontein premises at 88 Juta Street, which are projected to be concluded by June. No physical court proceedings will take place at the Braamfontein premises until renovations are completed and all trial proceedings will be conducted in the Johannesburg High Court in Pritchard Street.

All administrative functions will be relocated to the 5th floor of the 88 Juta Street building. Functions related to the office of the registrar will also be located on the 5th floor starting on 2 January. The available services will include front desk services, including filing, Labour Court Online, enrolment and general enquiries.

The trial roll call will be held at 9.45am every Friday for all trial proceedings scheduled for the following week, and the roll call will be conducted virtually via Microsoft Teams. All unopposed motions, contempt proceedings and interlocutory proceedings will be heard at the Land Court located at 18 Hill Street, Ferndale, Randburg. All opposed proceedings will be heard virtually.
