To provide for the reinstatement of the enrolment of certain deceased legal practitioners who were struck off the roll of advocates or attorneys as a result of their opposition to the previous political dispensation of apartheid or their assistance to persons who were opposed to the said apartheid dispensation; and to provide for matters connected therewith.
any other interested person, to any High court, be reinstated to the roll of advocates or attorneys, as the case may be, if the court is satisfied that the conduct that led to that person's name being removed from the roll in question was directly related to that person's opposition to the previous political dispensation of apartheid and to bringing about political or constitutional change in the Republic, or to assisting persons who were likewise opposed to the said apartheid dispensation.
to the roll of attorneys, the registrar of the Court must enter a reference to that order opposite the name of the person in question in the registers kept by him or her for that purpose and forward certified copies of that order to the registrars of the other High Courts and the registrars of deeds appointed in terms of the Deeds Registries Act, 1937 (Act 47 of 1937), who, in turn, must enter a reference to that order opposite the name of the person in question in the registers kept by them for that purpose.
The Cabinet member responsible for the administration of justice must cause the name of any person who was reinstated to the roll of advocates or attorneys in terms of section 1 to be submitted to Parliament.
This Act is called the Reinstatement of Enrolment of Certain Deceased Legal Practitioners Act, 2002.
