I welcome our guests. They talked about a statutory right for employees or their representatives to seek an injunction where a company was contemplating the removal of an asset of significant value. They have acknowledged that an injunctive remedy already exists. Can the witnesses elaborate on the benefits of a statutory injunction for workers? They say the provisions of the Companies Act do not appear to need amendment but are more in need of use. Can they explain what was meant by that, please?
