The Law Reform Commission of Mauritius was established in 2005 by the Law Reform Commission Act No. 26 of 2005 and is operational since 2006. The Commission falls under the aegis of the Attorney General’s Office of Mauritius; yet, it is an independent statutory body which does not lobby for implementation of its proposals because it does not have a political agenda to serve. Its duty is to enlighten policy-makers and the public through opinions based on high-quality research.[1]
The Law Reform Commission of Mauritius considers that laws of Mauritius should be responsive to the needs of society, in light of the exigencies of globalisation, reflect best international practices and be in conformity with our international obligations. Its vision is that of just, fair and efficient laws that reflect and advance the Nation’s social and economic interests.[2]
As such, the Commission’s objectives are to:
- review in a systematic way the law of Mauritius;
- make proposals for its reform and development; and
- advise the Attorney General on ways in which the law of Mauritius can be made as understandable and accessible as is practicable.
Background[edit]
As far back as 1993, a Law Reform Commission existed in Mauritius. In 2006, a new Commission was established[3] - in accordance with best practices that have evolved in the Commonwealth.
