Senior Counsel Opinion on CAB
Was the tagging of the Bill correct?
The most recent amendment of the Copyright Act No. 98 of 1978 (as amended) was Act No. 9 of 2002. This was a Section 75 Bill which was passed by Parliament and the President and enacted in 2002.
Was the Bill tagged correctly? See pages 34-46 of SC Cowen's Opinion
Re-tagging Bills that have been passed by Parliament could present a problem and precedent for other legislation passed by Parliament.
