CCMA rescission
A CCMA process asking for an award or ruling to be cancelled or changed in legally recognised circumstances, often where a party was absent or there was a procedural problem.
Definition
CCMA rescission is not a full appeal. The practical review should check the award or ruling, service notices, hearing date, attendance facts, reasons for absence, time limits, prejudice, prospects, and whether review, variation, enforcement, or settlement is the better route.
