They also do not know the key principles about meaningful engagement set out by the courts, especially the Constitutional Court. It is important for right-holders to know about their right to participate. They need to know what the courts have said about the duties it places on government and the process of meaningful engagement. The courts have mostly dealt with meaningful engagement in cases to do with housing rights. Therefore, this booklet focuses mainly on the right to housing when it explains the objectives, subject and process of meaningful engagement.
