In recent years, Botswana and Fiji have both reviewed their registration acts. The CAA has drawn upon the experience of its member organisations to provide advice thereby helping to share best practice.

When the matter of supplanting was raised in the CAA’s survey of 198528 Australia reported that this issue gave rise to the greatest number of complaints, but this has since become the subject of regulation and is now less problematic. Interestingly, however, it appears to remain a problem in several other countries despite the regulations prohibiting it.
