The South African Law Reform Commission’s (SALRC) vision is to be a

improvement and renewal of the legal system of South Africa. Its mission is the
continuous reform of the law of South Africa in accordance with the principles

The objectives of the Commission are to do research with reference to all
branches of the law of the country and to study and investigate all such
branches in order to make recommendations for the development, improvement,
modernisation or reform thereof, including the: repeal of obsolete or
unnecessary provisions; removal of anomalies; bringing about of uniformity in
the law in force in the various parts of the country; consolidation or
codification of any branch of the law; and steps aimed at making the common law
more readily available. In short, the Commission is an advisory body whose aim
is the renewal and improvement of the law of South Africa on a continuous
basis.
