By the time this publication went to print it seemed that the world's financial and economic systems might be on the brink of 'going broke'. At the same time, the Occupy Wall Street (OWS) movement was going global. Thousands of mostly (yet not exclusively) young people were taking to the streets in the financial centres of countries across the globe, protesting and showing their disillusionment with the state of affairs in the world.

This is the fourth edition of the book entitled, in former editions, Law of Succession: Student's Handbook and Introduction to the Law of Succession. The book is still primarily intended as a textbook for students in the law of succession. However, the nature of the book has changed to such an extent through its different editions that a more general title for this edition was considered justified.

Since the previous edition a number of important developments in the law of succession have taken place, especially through case law. These include the influence of the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa, 1996 (particularly the Bill of Rights) on freedom of testation, the extension of the application of the Intestate Succession Act 81 of 1987 and the power of condonation of the court at the execution, amendment and revocation of wills. The fourth edition aims at reflecting these and also other developments in the law of succession.

This work is an introductory guide for students of labour relations and managerial studies. This edition retains explanations of the procedures and processes encountered in this field, including parties to an employment-relations system, individual and

Hierdie uitgawe van Hockly se insolvensiereg volg die uitgebreide formaat van die vorige twee uitgawes, en die basiese doel daarvan bly dieselfde - om 'n beknopte, maar nogtans redelik gedetailleerde, weergawe van die reg aangaande insolvensie, likwidasie, en geregtelike bestuur te gee. Die titels is vir 'n bree leserskring bestem - dit bring die vakspesialis gerieflik op hoogte van onlangse ontwikkelinge in insolvensie en likwidasie, en dit is ook 'n teks vir studente (op sowel voorgraadse as nagraadse vlak) en 'n gids of gerieflike naslaanwerk vir insolvensiepraktisyns. Insolvensie is 'n gebied waarin daar gedurig ontwikkelings in die regspraak en toepaslike wetgewing is. Ons het gepoog om al die veranderings in te sluit wat gedurende die vier jaar sedert die laaste uitgawe van Hockly se Insolvensiereg plaasgevind het. Die titel weerspieel die insolvensiereg soos aan die einde van Augustus 2006. Soos tevore bevat die bylaes voorbeelde van aansoeke, boedelrekenings en die Insolvensiewet. Kruisverwysings in die teks is na paragrawe, nie bladsye nie. Verwysings in die registers van wetgewing en van hofsake, en in die indeks, is na bladsye.
