, QUESTION 1
1.1 To describe the working method of the Commission as mentioned in the HFL1501
Study Guide, we can refer to the following key points:
Answer
Commission's Working Method
The Commission follows a structured approach to its work, which involves conducting
research, gathering evidence, and consulting with relevant stakeholders.
It employs a systematic process to analyze the information gathered and formulate
recommendations or decisions based on the findings.
The Commission may also hold public hearings or inquiries to gather input from the
public and experts in the field related to its mandate.
It is important to note that the specific working methods of the Commission may vary
depending on its mandate and the nature of the issues it is addressing.
By following this structured approach, the Commission aims to ensure thoroughness,
fairness, and transparency in its decision-making processes.
1.2 Read the following statement and answer the questions that follow:
“It appears that the Commission does not hesitate to [refer to] the civil-law heritage that
we share with other European legal systems.”
(a) Explain what is meant by “civil-law heritage”. (1)
(b) South African law consists of three components. Our civil-law heritage falls under
which one of these three components?
Answer
The term "civil-law heritage" refers to the legal system derived from Roman law, which
forms the basis of the legal systems in many European countries. It is characterized by
codified laws, where legal principles are primarily found in written statutes and codes.
In the context of South African law, the civil-law heritage falls under the "Roman-Dutch
law" component, which is one of the three components of South African law.
