Extract

In December, 1995, the Constitutional Court made an order declaring a provision of the Criminal Procedure Act, 1977, inconsistent with the Constitution, but it suspended the declaration of invalidity and ordered that Parliament remedy the defect by 30 April, 1997, when the declaration would come into force. On 25 April, 1997, the Minister of Justice applied for an extension of the suspension.
