The Act amends the Code Civil Mauricien so as to reduce the time limits applicable to declare a person absent. Where there has been a judicial decision to the effect that a person is presumed absent, the time lapse of 5 years is reduced to 3 years, for the purpose of declaring the person absent. The Act also provides that where there has been no such judicial decision, a person can be declared absent if he is no longer seen at his place of residence for a period of more than 5 years, instead of more than 10 years.
