People are generally aware that legislation is introduced through
Bills that are sent to the legislature, usually by the executive,
and then passed into law. Few, however, are familiar with the
processes that precede the submission of a Bill to the legislature.
In fact, what eventually comes to the legislature is the product of
long, often laborious processes, which go on for weeks, months and
even years. To ensure that the civil servants and others who may be
involved in shaping proposals are able to candidly express their
views on policies that are being developed and refined, the
deliberations on the executive side of government traditionally
take place in secrecy. Mainly for that reason, the processes are
not well known to the general public and even to some activists who
lobby for or against legislation. This book, written by a lawyer
who has long experience participating in these processes, gives
rare insight into how legislative proposals are conceived,
developed and finally written into the law. It also contains
easy-to- understand technical information that explains the
significance of certain features of statutes. Further, it deals
with other matters that follow after enactment including
publication, entry into force, application and much more.
