7. The Committee supports a proposal to amend the Criminal Law (Sexual Offences and Related Matters) Amendment Act to provide for dedicated sexual offences courts. It notes that the regulations will determine the criteria' for designation but is informed that this will not preclude any other court from acting as a sexual offences court. The Committee also requests that the Department consider other ways of extending the benefits of dedicated sexual offences courts, such as extending the geographical jurisdiction of equipped sexual offences courts and making use of circuit courts, to make these courts more accessible without the associated costs of a fully-fledged court. The Committee requests further details, in writing, of the re-established dedicated sexual offences, listing the courts that are ready to be re- established, as well as those that will be established soon by 19 July 2013. The Committee also requests that it be furnished with the criteria for these.
