6.1       Schedule of Records

The Schedule of Records as contained in Appendix 1 of this Manual details a non-exhaustive list of Records that are held and/or Processed by the Company for the purposes of PAIA and POPIA respectively. Such Access to such Records may not be granted if they are subject to the grounds of refusal which are specified in clause 7 below.

6.2       List of applicable legislation

(1)        The Company retains records which are required in terms of legislation other than PAIA. 

(2)        Certain legislation provides that private bodies shall allow certain persons access to specified records, upon request. Legislation that may be consulted to establish whether the Requester has a right of access to a record other than in terms of the procedure set out in the PAIA are set out in Appendix 2.  

7           GROUNDS FOR REFUSAL OF ACCESS TO RECORDS IN TERMS OF PAIA

The following are the grounds on which the Company may, subject to the exceptions contained in Chapter 4 of PAIA, refuse a Request for Access in accordance with Chapter 4 of PAIA:

7.1       mandatory protection of the privacy of a third party who is a natural person, including a deceased person, where such disclosure of Personal Information would be unreasonable;

7.2       mandatory protection of the commercial information of a third party, if the Records contain:

(1)        trade secrets of that third party;

(2)        financial, commercial, scientific or technical information of the third party, the disclosure of which could likely cause harm to the financial or commercial interests of that third party; and/or

(3)        information disclosed in confidence by a third party to the Company, the disclosure of which could put that third party at a disadvantage in contractual or other negotiations or prejudice the third party in commercial competition;

7.3       mandatory protection of confidential information of third parties if it is protected in terms of any agreement;

7.4       mandatory protection of the safety of individuals and the protection of property;

7.5       mandatory protection of Records that would be regarded as privileged in legal proceedings;

7.6       protection of the commercial information of the Company, which may include:

(1)        trade secrets;

(2)        financial/commercial, scientific or technical information, the disclosure of which could likely cause harm to the financial or commercial interests of the Company;

(3)        information which, if disclosed, could put the Company at a disadvantage in contractual or other negotiations or prejudice the Company in commercial competition; and/or

(4)        computer programs which are owned by the Company, and which are protected by copyright and intellectual property laws;

7.7       research information of the Company or a third party, if such disclosure would place the research or the researcher at a serious disadvantage; and

7.8       Requests for Records that are clearly frivolous or vexatious, or which involve an unreasonable diversion of resources.

8           INFORMATION OR RECORDS NOT FOUND 

If the Company cannot find the records that the Requester is looking for despite reasonable and diligent search and it believes either that the records are lost or that the records are in its possession but unattainable, the Requester will receive a notice in this regard from the Information Officer in the form of an affidavit setting out the measures taken to locate the document and accordingly the inability to locate the document. 

9           REMEDIES AVAILABLE TO THE REQUESTER UPON REFUSAL OF A REQUEST FOR ACCESS IN TERMS OF PAIA

9.1       The Company does not have internal appeal procedures. As such, the decision made by the Information Officer is final, and Requesters will have to exercise such external remedies at their disposal if the Request for Access is refused.

9.2       In accordance with sections 56(3) (c) and 78 of PAIA, a Requester may apply to a court for relief within 180 days of notification of the decision for appropriate relief.

12.2    The period referred to above may be extended for a further period of not more than 30 days if the Request for Access is for a large number of Records or the Request for Access requires a search for Records held at another office of the Company and the Records cannot reasonably be obtained within the original 30 day period.
