PREFACE

This issue paper (which reflects information accumulated up to the end of January 1997) has been prepared to elicit responses and to serve as a basis for the Commission’s deliberations, taking into account any responses received. The views, conclusions and recommendations in this paper are accordingly not to be regarded as the Commission’s final views. The issue paper is published in full so as to provide persons and bodies wishing to comment or to make suggestions relating to the reform of this particular branch of the law with sufficient background information to enable them to place focused submissions before the Commission.

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 Constitution of the Republic of South Africa, Act 108 of 1996.

Respondents are requested to submit written comments, representations or requests to the Commission by 15 July 1997 at the address appearing on the previous page. The researcher will endeavour to assist you with particular difficulties you may have.

The project leader and chairperson of the project committee responsible for the project is The Honourable Mr Justice JH Steyn. The researcher, who may be contacted for further information, is Mrs AM Louw.
