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)
Section 13(1) of the Interpretation Act 33 of 1957 provides guidance on the interpretation of the
terms "adoption" and "commencement" as they pertain to legislation.
1. Adoption:
o Meaning: "Adoption" refers to the formal acceptance or approval of a legislative
proposal or bill by the legislative body, such as Parliament or a relevant authority.
This process typically involves a series of readings, debates, and voting
procedures within the legislative body.
o Context: In the context of the Interpretation Act, "adoption" signifies the
completion of the legislative process up to the point where a bill has been
approved by the required legislative body and is awaiting further steps before
becoming law.
2. Commencement:
o Meaning: "Commencement" refers to the point at which a piece of legislation
comes into force or becomes legally effective. This can occur on a specific date
mentioned within the legislation itself, or it may be determined by a subsequent
proclamation or notification.
o Context: The Interpretation Act may provide guidance on how to determine the
commencement date if it is not explicitly stated in the legislation. Often, a law
will specify that it comes into effect on a particular date or upon fulfillment of
certain conditions, or it may allow for the government to set the date through a
separate legal notice or proclamation.
Together, these terms describe the process by which legislation is not only created and approved
but also brought into effect, ensuring that it is legally binding and enforceable.
