n Local Government Bulletin - Help desk

Abstract

The law on local government is complex and legal advice is expensive, but subscribers to the Bulletin have access to a free telephonic legal advice service. To qualify for free legal advice a question should relate to the content of the Bulletin or to the framework legislation for local government, i.e. the Municipal Demarcation Act, Municipal Structures Act, Municipal Systems Act, Property Rates Act or Municipal Finance Management Act. The advice is not a full legal opinion. It is verbal advice, or, if necessary, a short letter of up to 500 words.
