In 2013, there was an article about "Mauritius Data Protection
Commission: an analysis of its early decisions". Mrs Drudeisha
Madhub, Data Protection Commissioner, Republic of Mauritius,
published a clarification in response to the conclusion drawn from
the analysis. I'll quote part of that:

   "All enquiries are completed once the complainant declares to this office
    that it is satisfied with the enquiry conducted. If the complainant is not
    satisfied, the enquiry is pursued so that more evidence, wherever possible,
    is gathered. This in no way precludes the complainant from
appealing against
    the decision of the commissioner once he/she receives it."

Regards,
S. Moonesamy
