Actually, as I understand most common law, any item which is considered a “matter of public record” can be freely republished by third parties. I admit I am not an expert in law and have little understanding of Mauritian law in particular, but it seems rather absurd to me that a document which can be inspected at will or “made available upon request” would somehow preclude further publication or dissemination of the data contained in the document.
