How the Commission works
Under our Legislation, the Commission receives instructions from the Attorney General before it may look at a particular law.
Just as Fiji’s resources are limited, so are the Commission’s. This means that the Commission cannot look at every existing law.
It is those laws which the Government considers in urgent need of reform that the Attorney General refers to the Commission.
Our reform agenda therefore is influenced by the main concerns of the Government of the day. As well, the Attorney General receives suggestions from Parliamentarians, Community Organisations and other interested groups.
Once the Commission receives an instruction from the Attorney General, a Commissioner is appointed by the Attorney General to be in charge of the review.
