.1.With specific reference to section 13(1) of the Interpretation Act 33 of
1957,what do you understand by the terms “adoption”, and
“commencement” oflegislation? (5)
In the context of the Interpretation Act 33 of 1957:
1. Adoption of Legislation: This refers to the formal process through which a
proposed bill or draft law is approved by the legislature and becomes an
official law. It involves the stages from its initial proposal, consideration,
debate, potential amendments, and final approval by the relevant legislative
body (such as Parliament). Once adopted, the legislation gains legal force
and effect.
2. Commencement of Legislation: This term refers to the point in time when
the provisions of a law officially come into operation and can be enforced.
Legislation typically specifies when it will commence, whether immediately
upon publication, on a specific future date, or upon a proclamation by the
relevant authority. The commencement date is crucial as it determines when
the legal rights, duties, and obligations imposed by the legislation take
effect.
The Interpretation Act provides guidelines and rules on how to interpret these and
other terms used in legal texts, ensuring clarity and consistency in understanding
legislative intent and application.
Section 13(1) of the Interpretation Act 33 of 1957 pertains to the understanding
and interpretation of when legislation is considered to be adopted and when it
commences. Here’s a detailed explanation:
Adoption of Legislation
1. Adoption refers to the process through which a legislative body formally
accepts and enacts a proposed law. This involves several steps, including:
o Drafting: The preparation of the legislative text.
o Introduction: The presentation of the bill to the legislative body.
o Debate and Amendments: Discussion and possible modifications of
the bill.
