Explanation of planned performance over the medium-term period

Although Legal Services cannot accurately predict the volume and nature of requests that it will receive during the 2023/24 financial year, demand for services is likely to remain high and involve requests for legal opinions, legal governance assessments, vetting of draft contracts and legal technical correspondence, legislative drafting, collation of comments on draft national legislation and management of litigation instituted by or against the Western Cape Government. Training will be provided, and awareness created, in respect of applicable transversal and sector-specific regulatory frameworks, litigation trends and national and provincial legislation. Analytical reports on the activities of Legal Services will be presented to the Provincial Cabinet and Provincial Top Management, in which legal trends and patterns, important developments in the law and emerging risks will be highlighted, resulting in necessary regulatory and institutional change to promote legally sound and more efficient decision-making. These outputs will enable service delivery and economic recovery, in a manner that is legally sound, for maximum citizen impact. Additionally, legal support will be given to Provincial Treasury and client departments involved in growth-orientated infrastructure projects, to ensure that solutions developed either internal to government or externally by contracted in consultants are legally sound and lawful.
