This edition contains more words than its predecessors, especially words from the commercial sphere. It follows a new style, namely to group derivations under the leading word instead of treating them as separate entries. There appear after the main word, in bold print and alphabetically, the suffixes to the main word with translations. Concessions have again been made to anglicisms for the sake of clarity of meaning.

Life insurance in South Africa contains numerous real life case examples which clearly illustrate stated principles. Beneficial both to the office and to the industry, this book is an indispensable reference work for everyone involved in the long-term insurance field, whether it be an underwriter, agent, intermediary or claimant, and certainly the legal representative of a claimant. Life insurance in South Africa enables the lay public to have a better understanding of how the office functions and the role it plays in the settlement of complaints. At the same time, it serves as a practical source of information not only to the managerial and administrative personnel of long-term insurance companies, but also role players in the industry such as brokers, intermediaries and financial advisers. Designed for use as a relevant reference.

Administrative Law in South Africa has been dramatically transformed over the past 14 years since the enactment of the interim Constitution in 1994. This has resulted in a flood of judgments in which the new administrative law has been considered. The large volume of cases and the ever-growing length of judgments make it increasingly difficult to cut through the thicket and zoom in on the core principles of this area of law as they emerge from the materials.

This book collects the key materials on administrative law in South Africa in a focused and organised manner. It is a comprehensive resource tool that will enable anyone encountering administrative law to access the principles of this field through the primary sources.

Among the selections the reader will find both the leading authorities on particular rules and the best illustrations of their application. Apart from the judgments, the book also contains the relevant statutory provisions such as extracts from the 1993 and 1996 Constitutions and the Promotion of Administrative Justice Act 3 of 2000.

Commercial Law aims at dealing comprehensively with the most important principles of both the law of contract in general and of those nominate contracts most often encountered in the commercial sphere, such as credit agreements and contracts of sale, lease, carriage, suretyship, pledge, mortgage, employment, arbitration, letting and hiring of work , as well as insurance.

Since the publication of the fourth edition of Commercial Law in 2011, changes in several areas of the law have necessitated the publication of this fifth edition. New legislation and case law were updated as far as possible up to the end of August 2015.

Sedert die verskyning van die derde uitgawe van Kommersiele Reg in 2006 het omvattende veranderinge op sekere regsgebiede 'n vierde uitgawe genoodsaak. 'n Nuwe hoofstuk oor elektroniese betalingsmetodes is bygevoeg.

'n Nuwe deel word aan die Wet op Verbruikersbeskerming 68 van 2008 gewy, terwyl die invloed van die Wet ook in die afsonderlike hoofstukke oor byvoorbeeld die kontraktereg en besondere kontrakte soos die koopkontrak bygewerk is. Origens is nuwe wetgewing en regspraak waar moontlik bygewerk tot einde Augustus 2011.

Kommersiele Reg het ten doel om volledig te handel met die belangrikste beginsels van sowel die algemene kontraktereg as die benoemde kontrakte wat die meeste in die handelsverkeer aangetref word, soos kredietooreenkomste, koop-, huur-, borg-, pand-, verband-, diens-, arbitrasie-, werkaannemings- vervoer- en versekeringskontrakte.

Die werk word ingelei met 'n nuttige bespreking van die oorsprong, totstandkoming en sistematiek van die reg, gevolg deur 'n bespreking van die bronne van die regsverbintenis, soos die kontrak, delik en ongeregverdigde verryking, wat nodig is vir 'n beter begrip van die kontraktereg.

General Principles of Commercial Law is a concise compendium written specifically for non-law students. Written by experienced commercial law lecturers in the Department of Mercantile Law at the University of South Africa, it has been a prescribed text for undergraduate non-law students at various South African tertiary institutions for the past 28 years.

General Principles of Commercial Law provides students with a succinct exposition of the general principles of commercial law. It covers a wide range of topics influenced by the registration requirements of the Independent Regulatory Board for Auditors.

The ninth edition has been updated to reflect recent statutory and other developments in commercial law and includes:

• A revised chapter on credit agreements to reflect recent amendments to the National Credit Act 34 of 2005.

Hierdie is die vyfde uitgawe van die boek wat vir die eerste keer in 1992 as 'n relatief bondige teks, spesifiek gemik op studente in die erfreg, verskyn het. Die boek het egter deur sy opeenvolgende uitgawes tot 'n meer algemene bron vir die Suid-Afrikaanse erfreg ontwikkel. Tog is dit deur sy aanslag, aanbiedingswyse en sistematiek steeds ideaal om ook as handboek in erfregkursusse gebruik te word. Die huidige weergawe poog weereens om aan die leser 'n omvattende oorsig oor die verskillende fasette van die erfreg te gee, met inagneming van die jongste ontwikkelings wat hierdie regsgebied beinvloed het.

Law Of Persons, now in its sixth edition, has become a standard text on the South African law of persons. The book was first published in 1995, just after the dawn of South Africa’s first democratic dispensation.

First-year students will derive the most benefit from Law of Persons if the book is used in conjunction with the Law of Persons Sourcebook.

This volume pays tribute to the constitutional jurisprudence of Justice Laurie Ackermann, now retired from the Constitutional Court of South Africa.

The South African Constitution pushes against the limits of some of the great jurisprudential traditions of both the West and Africa, and has been assigned such a crucial transformational role that it has been at the forefront of attempts to connect law to the pursuit of emancipation. Justice Ackermann has played a leading role in the development of a suitable jurisprudence.

In focusing specifically on the relationship between dignity and freedom in the post-apartheid legal order, the essays collected here not only provide a critical perspective on a central theme in South Africa’s developing constitutional law, but also bring into view emerging answers to fundamental jurisprudential questions of growing international prominence.

A proper understanding of the law of contract requires far more than the mere rote learning of principles extracted from cases. Contract law is a practical subject and students will understand it best by applying contractual principles to practical, life-like scenarios. Student's guide to the law of contract fosters such an approach. It is filled with examples, exercises and problem-setting questions that increase gradually in level of complexity. This will facilitate discussion in study groups and during lectures. Spaces for the completion of exercises and summaries of prescribed cases enable students to engage actively with the learning material in one basic source. Student's guide to the law of contract can be used by lecturers as a primary teaching tool for undergraduate students to improve their students' knowledge and understanding of basic contractual principles, develop their ability to reason and stimulate their interest in the subject. Likewise, students will find it useful as an aid additional to lectures and more advanced contract law textbooks.
