Mauritius is hosting the 23e Congrès des Notaires d’Afrique from 27 to 30 October 2011. Some 200 notaries public coming mainly from French-speaking African countries are attending this conference. The theme is La Pratique Notariale en Afrique: Etat des lieux et perspectives.
M. Jean Paul Decorps, Chairman of the Union Internationale du Notariat (UIN) and Mrs Régine Dooh-Collins, Chairperson of La Commission des Affaires Africaines (CAAF) are also attending this conference which is being held at Bel Ombre. The event is an initiative of the Association des Notaires de l’île Maurice (ANM) and CAAF.
In his address at the opening ceremony, the Attorney-General, Mr Yatin Varma, underlined the various roles of the notary public in assuring and maintaining legal security, which is a basis for economical prosperity.
Mrs Régine Dooh-Collins on her part stressed that the profession of the notary public on the African continent should be thoroughly examined and that participants should make recommendations which offer the notary the necessary means to improve his everyday duty and in turn ensure legal security in Africa.
The main objective of the Conference is to evaluate the different methods of work used in this profession and identify those that are proving to be most efficient in the current global economic situation.
This Conference is expected to provide an opportunity to take stock of the profession of the notary public in Africa and establish methods and practices to ensure legal security in Africa.
According to Mr Rajendra Dassyne, Chairman of ANM, in the near future Africa would be the ideal place to invest and hence the notary public would be called upon to play an important role as regards legal security.
