Chapter 3: Co-operative Government
(3)
(4)
(a) establish or provide for structures and institutions to promote and facilitate
intergovernmental relations; and
(b) provide for appropriate mechanisms and procedures to facilitate settlement of
intergovernmental disputes.
An organ of state involved in an intergovernmental dispute must make every
reasonable effort to settle the dispute by means of mechanisms and procedures
provided for that purpose, and must exhaust all other remedies before it approaches
a court to resolve the dispute.
If a court is not satisfied that the requirements of subsection (3) have been met, it
may refer a dispute back to the organs of state involved.
