Form B can be found on the website of the relevant bodies and are also available at every
office of the South African Human Rights Commission.
If the internal appeal involves any third party, the public body that has received the internal
appeal is responsible for contacting all of the relevant third parties. The requirements for
notification and representation are the same as those required for the original PAIA
request.
Third parties are also allowed to file internal appeals against the decision made by a
public body to grant access to a specific record.

required for the
request.

satisfied with the decision

South African Human Rights Commission
The requester is not satisfied
when the form in which the
records are provided are not
the same as the form that was
requested, and the requester
believes that it would not
have been unreasonably
burdensome for the public
body to provide the records in
the requester’s preferred
form.
