Restitution procedure Sample Clauses

Restitution procedure. All restitution claims are first screened by the Land Claims Commission. Disqua- lified claims are ignored and validated claims processed. This screening process entails the issuance of a compliance certificate and drafting a case report that sets out the basis of acceptance. Aggrieved claimants can at this stage approach the Land Claims Court for review of the Commission’s conduct. The aim, however, is to attempt to solve as many claims as possible by way of administrative and mediation procedures. As we noted above, this non-confrontational approach promotes the constitutional value of ubuntu.5 As a result, the majority of claims are handled by the Commission. Only the complicated claims or those claims that cannot be finalized by way of mediation are referred to the Land Claims Court for adjudication.6
