A BILL FOR A LAW TO AMEND THE LAW REFORM COMMISSION LAW (2007 REVISION); AND FOR INCIDENTAL AND CONNECTED PURPOSES The Law Reform Commission (Amendment) Bill, 2018 THE LAW REFORM COMMISSION (AMENDMENT) BILL, 2018 MEMORANDUM OF OBJECTS AND REASONS This Bill seeks to amend the Law Reform Commission Law (2007 Revision) (\u201cthe principal Law\u201d). Clause 1 provides the short title. Clause 2 amends the definition section of the principal Law by deleting the definition of \u201cGovernor\u201d in order to remove references to the expression \u201cGovernor in Cabinet\u201d.  This is in recognition of the separation of powers between the Office of the Governor and the Cabinet with respect to certain functions as provided in the Cayman Islands Constitution Order, 2009. Clause 3 amends section 4 of the principal Law by repealing and substituting subsection (1) in order to identify the Director of Public Prosecutions and the Solicitor General as ex officio members of the Commission. This amendment dispenses with the need to go through the Cabinet appointment process that currently obtains to confirm the membership on the Commission of both the Director of Public Prosecutions and the Solicitor General. Consequentially, the Attorney General will now be required to recommend the appointment of the Chairman and not less than two other Commissioners in order to maintain the current statutory minimum requirement of five Commissioners, including the Chairman, on the Commission. Clause 3 also amends section 4 of the principal Law by deleting the word \u201cGovernor\u201d and substituting the word \u201cCabinet\u201d in recognition of the separation of powers between both offices as provided in the Cayman Islands Constitution Order, 2009. Clause 4 amends section 5 of the principal Law by deleting the word \u201cGovernor\u201d and substituting the word \u201cCabinet\u201d in recognition of the separation of powers between both offices as provided in the Cayman Islands Constitution Order, 2009. Clause 5 amends section 6 of the principal Law in order to make it clear that only appointed members of the Commission shall be paid an allowance.  It also deletes the word \u201cGovernor\u201d and substitutes the word \u201cCabinet\u201d. Clause 6 amends section 8(d) of the principal Law by deleting the word \u201cGovernor\u201d and substituting the word \u201cCabinet\u201d in recognition of the separation of powers between both offices as provided in the Cayman Islands Constitution Order, 2009. Clause 7 amends section 9 of the principal Law by inserting subsection (2A) in order to provide for meetings of the Commission to be convened through videoconference, teleconference or any other form of electronic communication The Law Reform Commission (Amendment) Bill, 2018 determined by the Chairman. This amendment is in keeping with the utilisation of modern electronic methods of conducting and validating meetings or any other type of proceedings. Clause 8 amends the principal Law by repealing and substituting section 16 in order to provide Cabinet with the power to make regulations for the efficient carrying out of the functions of the Commission.
