    "content": "civil case. However, what we are seeking here is that once a court declares your rights have been infringed, it should be able to compensate you monetarily. You do not need to go and file another case. This has been a problem, particularly in cases touching on Government. It can be declared, maybe three or four years later, that actually Government breached your rights. Under the Government Proceedings Act, you have only one year within which to file your suit. After four years, although your rights were infringed, you will not be able to go back to court. That means you have then lost although your rights were infringed. What this particular amendment is seeking to do is ensure that you are compensated once it has been declared that your rights were infringed."
