Webinar: Unpacking the Role of the Information Regulator in relation to PAIA
28 September 2021 @ 2:00 pm – 3:30 pm
On 30 June 2021, the Information Regulator took over the regulatory mandate functions relating to the Promotion of Access to Information Act (PAIA) from the South African Human Rights Commission. It is now established as the sole functionary, apart from the courts, that may consider complaints against decisions concerning requests for access to records of public or private bodies made in terms of PAIA. This development adds an additional level of recourse for requesters which – it is hoped – will improve rates of fulfilment of information requests.
Join the Access to Information Network on International Day for Universal Access to Information to listen to members of the Information Regulator unpack this new role and what it means for individuals and public interest organisations exercising their right of access to information through PAIA.
