The plaintiff, a trade union organisation, instituted summons in each of the five matters claiming for payment of trade union dues due to it in terms of a Collective Bargaining Agreement.

However, in all cases, all the accused persons succumbed to the same fate of incorrect sentencing. I shall then turn to deal with the factual issues of each and every case. More
