An authoritative source of reference on negotiable instruments often cited in judgments of all South African courts, Malan on Bills of Exchange, Cheques and Promissory Notes in South African Law has become an indispensable companion to practitioners within the commercial and banking sectors, and the lawyers who represent them. The fourth edition continues to provide practitioners and students with a comprehensive guide to this complex area of law, as well as incorporating valuable new elements.

Since the second edition was published some important decisions have been reported on estoppel and these have been considered in this new edition. Comparing the multitude of references to estoppel in South African case law to the number of reported decisions where the courts actually founded estoppel confirms that successful reliance on estoppel remains more the exception than the rule.

While a great deal has been written on the topic already, this textbook focuses on introducing human rights law in a comprehensive but easy-to-understand manner to the benefit of both lecturers and students. It is hoped that this work will assist lecturers who teach the subject at first- or second-year level, both in the LLB degree and other university programmes, as well as non-governmental organisations and others parties who train their staff or stakeholders in basic principles of the law. The book should also benefit students by covering the breadth of human rights law directly applicable to students studying law in South Africa.

The text contains a number of scenarios to help readers grasp the material being discussed by illustrating relevant constitutional principles and issues. Cases are integrated into the text in a manner that should facilitate an understanding of their application. This book contains complete court judgments, statutes, a bibliography and questions to respective chapters which will assist lecturers and students in finding their way beyond the book at whatever level they deem appropriate.

Hoteliers, restaurateurs, licensees and catering managers will, in the course of their work, enter into many legal relationships with other parties whilst at the same time being required to adhere to all of the statutory laws that apply to their business. A sound knowledge of the law is therefore important to the professional owner or manager, as are knowledge of business management and the fundamental skills of the profession.

The management of employment relations: Conceptual and contextual perspectives is specifically designed for students of business management. This work focuses on laying the employment relations foundation and on macro, generic and theoretical issues. The overall purpose of this work is to assist the student in grasping the essentials that lay the foundation for understanding what employment relations entails in South Africa.

This book has grown out of the experiences of years of teaching introductory courses in law, to both law and non-law students here in Botswana and in other countries. Although it builds on E. K. Quansah’s earlier mimeograph, Introduction to the Botswana legal system, this book is specifically written as a comprehensive textbook that targets law and non-law students as well as anyone concerned with the operation of the law. Structurally, it is divided into five parts. Part I provides a general introduction to the nature and functions of the law as well as a brief outline of the major legal systems that operate in the world today. Part II contains a detailed account on the background to the present legal system in Botswana and then identifies the different sources of law that are applied in the courts in the country. Part III examines the various courts in the country as well as the different categories of legal personnel who are involved in the administration of justice in the country. Part IV deals with the enactment and interpretation of statutes. The final part discusses some of the crucial issues that have troubled students when tackling law examinations and also examines some of the key issues in writing a good legal essay and legal research paper.

This publication addresses the legal aspects specifically relevant to police officials.

It states, interprets and applies the most general legal principles in the fields of criminal law and criminal procedure (mainly the pre-trial process), and some basic principles of the law of evidence. There is a constant emphasis on the influence of human rights on these fields of law, and especially on policing powers.

Academics, practitioners, justice and police officials collaborated in producing a book that is not only theoretically sound, but also of great practical value.
