dc.description.abstract |
In this article the authors consider the early complaints lodged at the pilot
equality courts. Since their inception the equality courts have been
underutilised. These early complaints are considered against three themes
relating to effective legislation: (1) the legislature must be realistic;
(2) different groups of people will be influenced in different ways by a new
law; and (3) Parliament should see to it that its laws are popularised. In
conclusion the authors offer recommendations on how the utilisation of
the equality courts may be improved, among others that equality court
personnel should be adequately trained; one forum should be created
where any discrimination-related complaint may be lodged; plain
language promotional materials should be developed; the parts of the Act
that relate to the promotion of equality must come into force; and the
workings of the equality courts should be included in the Life Orientation
curriculum in schools. |
