The administrator is obliged to give the party who requested the reasons within?
Question: The administrator is obliged to give the party who requested the reasons within?
The Promotion of Administrative Justice Act 3 of 2000 (Paja) obliges the administrator to give the party who requested the reasons for an administrative action within **90 days** of receiving the request.
Section 27(2) of Paja states that:
> The administrator to whom the request is made must, within 90 days after receiving the request, give that person adequate reasons in writing for the administrative action.
If the administrator fails to furnish adequate reasons within 90 days, the administrative action is presumed to be invalid in any proceedings for judicial review.
However, there are a few exceptions to the 90-day rule. For example, the administrator may be given an extension of time if the request is complex or if the administrator is unable to provide the reasons for good reason.
The administrator may also refuse to provide reasons if it is reasonable and justifiable to do so. For example, the administrator may refuse to provide reasons if the reasons are confidential or if providing the reasons would be harmful to the public interest.
If you are a party who has requested the reasons for an administrative action and you have not received the reasons within 90 days, you may be able to challenge the administrative action in court.
