The Companies Tribunal was established to provide an accessible, efficient, and cost-effective means of resolving disputes and making certain administrative decisions related to the Companies Act in South Africa. Its creation aims to support the corporate governance framework by offering a specialized forum for handling cases like company name disputes, directorship disagreements, and compliance matters. Additionally, the Tribunal facilitates Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) methods, including mediation and arbitration, to help companies and stakeholders resolve conflicts without the need for lengthy and expensive court processes. By reducing the administrative and financial burdens on the formal judicial system, the Companies Tribunal contributes to a more effective and business-friendly regulatory environment
