2. Guide on how to use PAIA

The South African Human Rights Commission publishes a guide on how to use PAIA, available on its website, which explains the process for requesting access to records held by public and private bodies.

3. Records held by Justice Action Services

Records are generally not made available automatically without a request, except where indicated. Categories of records held include:

4. How to request access to a record

A request for access to a record must be made in the prescribed form (Form C1 under PAIA) and directed to the Information Officer using the contact details in section 1. [TO CONFIRM: any specific fee schedule or additional process JAS wants to publish here — PAIA sets standard prescribed fees by default.]

5. Grounds for refusal

Access to a record may be refused only on the grounds set out in PAIA — for example, where a record contains another person's personal information, legally privileged material, or information that would unreasonably prejudice a third party's commercial interests.
