PREFACE

This issue paper includes a questionnaire in order to elicit responses from interested persons and to serve as a basis for the Commission's deliberations. The issue paper is published so as to provide persons and bodies wishing to comment or make suggestions for the reform of this particular branch of the law with the opportunity to place full submissions before the Commission. Following an evaluation of the responses the Commission will issue a discussion paper on this subject setting out recommendations and if necessary draft legislation. The discussion paper will once again be distributed for comment before a final report is written.

The Commission will assume that respondents agree to the Commission quoting from or referring to comments and attributing comments to respondents, unless representations are marked confidential. Respondents should be aware that the Commission may in any event be required to release information contained in representations under the Promotion of Access to Information Act, Act 2 of 2000.

Respondents are requested to submit written comments, representations or requests to the Commission by 17 October, 2003, at the address appearing on the previous page. Any request for information and administrative enquiries should be addressed to either of the researchers allocated to this project, Miss LJ Jankie or Mr T Cronje.
