Automatically available documents

On 27 September 2016, the Centre for Applied Legal Studies (CALS) and the Centre for Environmental Rights (CER) sent a letter to the Director-General (DG) of the Department of Mineral Resources (DMR) requesting that certain documents, including mining rights, prospecting rights, social and labour plans and environmental management programmes, are made available automatically – without the need to submit a formal request for those records in terms of the Promotion of Access to Information Act, 2000 (PAIA)
