The Mauritian Legal Platform
The objective of this platform is to make Mauritian Law understandable, to serve as an informative tool and to answer the basic questions that come up again and again.This platform will never replace expert legal advice, but will place the reader in a position to make more informed decisions and to know exactly the time when to consult a legal practitioner.
The topics addressed will cover many aspects of daily life and the platform will be divided into three categories; public law, private law and commercial law. From time to time there will also be practical tips for law/bar students and recommendations on useful books, courses and resources. Finally there will also be updates on important news in the Indian Ocean Region and Africa.
