This data category requires all national laws and statutes available to be available online, although it is not a requirement that information on legislative behaviour e.g. voting records is available. To satisfy this category, the following minimum criteria must be met:

  • Content of the law / status
  • If applicable, all relevant amendments to the law
  • Date of last amendments
  • Data should be updated at least on quarterly

Comments

They don't collate later amendments, or changes through notices, in any way. This means that if you need to see the "real" most recent draft (including all amendments and updates by Regulation), you need to subscribe to a private legislation provider which is prohibitively expensive, even for practitioners. A new private service lawsofsouthafrica.up.ac.za makes many of the consolidated laws available for free in PDF form.
