In October 2006 the South African Law Reform Commission released its Discussion Paper 112 on Project 25: Review of the Interpretation Act 33 of 1957, for general information and comment. The Discussion Paper sets out the Commission's preliminary proposals for law reform regarding the Interpretation Act, 1957. The closing date for comment on these proposals was 31 December 2006. In order to afford respondents more time to consider the Commission's preliminary proposals and to submit comment on them, it was decided to extend the closing date for comment until 28 February 2007.
