Before 1994 administrative law was dominated by parliamentary
supremacy which dictated that Parliament is the supreme law-making
authority in the state. This position was radically changed by the new
democratic order. To protect the rights of citizens a Bill of Rights was
introduced in South Africa.
This research focuses on the uncertainty pertaining to the application of
the audi alteram partem rule to the proceedings of commissions of
inquiry. Section 24 of the interim Constitution, section 33 of the final
Constitution and the Promotion of Administrative Justice Act 3 of 2000
were introduced to safeguard the individual against unfair administrative
action. These legislative measures as well as applicable case law are
analysed in order to establish whether they have brought about greater
clarity concerning the application of the audi alteram partem rule to the
proceedings of commissions of inquiry. / Thesis (LL.M. (Public Law))--North-West University, Potchefstroom Campus, 2004.
