Message: [QUOTE="Nehanda, post: 28340, member: 2262"] Procurement review panels cannot change their past decisions. After they make a ruling, the law says they completed their duty on that matter. The legal term "functus officio" describes this situation. A case between Tsholotsho Rural District Council and J Mambara shows this principle in action. If someone dislikes what the panel decided, they must take a different path. They need to appeal to the Administrative Court instead of asking the panel to reconsider. The legal system works this way to maintain order and finality in decisions. We can see this process confirmed in the court case between the Twenty Third Century Company and the Minister of Higher Education. [/QUOTE]
