This is the first title on the South African law of unjustified enrichment, covering the entire field of this area of the law. It aims not only at giving an accurate description of the current law, but also to investigate new solutions to old problems, making use of comparative insights. Unjustified enrichment is structured in an accessible way to make it possible for anyone easily to locate the law relevant to the specific problem that is being investigated - and to allow those who are not familiar with the subject to find their way into it.

South Africa’s history of colonialism and apartheid has created deep patterns of inequality and poverty. One of the ways in which the government has tried to address the high levels of inequality that characterise the South African labour market, is through an extensive process of legislative reform, which includes the Employment Equity Act (EEA) of 1998.

The EEA was enacted to achieve equity in the workplace by prohibiting unfair discrimination and by requiring the implementation of affirmative action measures to ensure the equitable representation of designated groups (blacks, women and disabled persons) in all occupational categories and levels in the workforce. The Act gives effect to the constitutional imperative for substantive equality in respect of the workplace.

One decade after the enactment of the EEA, this collection of essays evaluates its efficacy in achieving its stated goals. This is done against the background of comparative experiences elsewhere, in particular India, Canada, the United Kingdom, Germany and the European Union.

This work contains most of the cases required for a study of the law of succession and is a very good aid for students who do not have access to the law reports. The title contains a summary of the facts of each case, an extract from the case and a note in which the principles expounded in the case are explained. Decisions up to June 2002 have been considered for inclusion. Hierdie werk bevat die meeste sake wat vir 'n studie van die erfreg nodig is en is 'n baie goeie hulpmiddel vir studente wat nie toegang tot die hofverslae het nie. Die titel bevat 'n opsomming van die feite van elke saak, 'n uittreksel uit die uitspraak asook 'n aantekening waarin die beginsels wat in die saak ter sprake gekom het, ontleed word.

This title contains a selection of papers presented at an international conference entitled 'The politics of restorative justice in South Africa and beyond', held near Cape Town in 2006. The conference aimed to foster debate on and about restorative justice, its methodological assumptions, its policy permutations, and the kinds of strategic interventions and practices adopted in its name.

The definitive work in the field, International Human Rights provides a comprehensive analysis of this wide and diverse subject area. Written by world-renowned scholars Philip Alston and Ryan Goodman, this book is the successor to the widely acclaimed International Human Rights in Context. Alston and Goodman have chosen a wide selection of materials from primary and secondary sources--legislation, case law, and academic writings--in order to demonstrate and illuminate key themes. They carefully guide students through each extract with thoughtful and lucid commentary. Questions are posed throughout the book in order to encourage deeper reflection and critical enquiry. A Companion Website features additional resources, including the first three chapters of the book, available for download.

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.

Of interest or benefit to: Students, Academics, Lawyers

Die sewende uitgawe van Deliktereg, wat gelyktydig met die Engelse weergawe hiervan verskyn, is in die geheel hersien en bygewerk in die lig van nuwe gesag en literatuur wat uit die aard van die saak soms 'n aanpassing van regsbeginsels of teoretiese standpunte meegebring het. In die besonder is aandag gegee aan die lewendige akademiese en regterlike debat wat sedert die vorige uitgawe oor die deliksbeginsels gevoer is, veral oor die verhouding tussen onreg­matigheid, nalatigheid en juridiese kousaliteit.

The main objective of this book is to provide a basic introduction to key aspects of trial advocacy for all courts and tribunals.

Trial advocacy is explained in an easy-to-understand, step-by-step way and a number of examples and supporting annexures from actual court cases are used to illustrate relevant principles, strategies and tactics. Apart from serving as a basic guide for newly-qualified lawyers, the book also benefits non-lawyers intimately involved in procedural justice, like police officials, social workers, NGO advice offices, student legal aid clinics, court reporters and paralegals.

The book consists of three parts.

Part 1, which comprises 5 chapters, deals with the legal-philosophical aspects of communications law. In Part II , we deal with certain statutory and common law limitations to the right to freedom of expression. Part III deals with specific methods of communication, ie the press, electronic communications, broadcasting, computers, and entertainment.

This new edition has been fully revised and updated to include the contemporary issues together with new cases delivered by international courts and tribunals, such as the ICJ, ITLOS and Arbitral Tribunals, treaties, UN resolutions, and other instruments. It retains the clear chapter structure of the first edition, but has expanded the topics on marine spaces beyond national jurisdiction, maritime delimitation, protection of the marine environment. A new concluding chapter has also been included and presents a perspective on the future development of the international law of the sea. Detailed footnotes and further reading sections, combined with illustrations and tables ensure understanding of the subject. By offering clarity of expression and academic rigour, The International Law of the Sea remains the best choice for students.

This book provides healthcare and legal practitioners and students at all levels with the theory and practical application necessary to understand and apply bioethics, human rights and health law to their present and future work. The topics of bioethics, human rights and health law are part of the core curriculum for all students in Health Sciences in South Africa. Bioethics, Health Law and Human Rights: Principles and Practice, therefore, comes at no better time.

As the book is a guide, it does not deal exhaustively with the topics discussed. Instead, it aims to give healthcare and legal practitioners some general guidelines which it is hoped will be of practical use to them.

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.
• A new chapter 24 that deals with various aspects of banking law, including a discussion of selected aspects of both the Banks Act 94 of 1990 and the Financial Sector Regulation Act 9 of 2017; an introduction to the principles of indigenous banking law; and the important aspect of financial inclusion.
• An expanded chapter on methods of payment, which includes a discussion of selected modern types of digital payment and other developments in the sphere of payments, including cryptocurrencies.

Children's rights are now enshrined in the South African constitution, and lip service is regularly paid to them, but how effectively are they implemented? From research undertaken by the Centre for Socio-Legal Research over the last twenty years, the question has increasingly arisen of how much use such rights are on paper if the systems charged with ensuring their implementation are inadequate for the task. Possibly even more important, it has become evident that it is not enough to make 'the best interests of the child' the touch-stone for legal and welfare decisions on children, if the individuals charged with those decisions have little training -- or ready access to expertise -- in child development or the realities of a fast-changing country of many cultures. Decisions that radically affect children's futures -- whether custody decisions on divorce, fostering, children's home, adoption placements, or juvenile court decisions -- have life-long consequences. But there is also little hard evidence of what is influencing such decisions in practice, nor how decision-making for South African children can be improved. This book is the result of an attempt to remedy some of these gaps. It presents the evidence from an interdisciplinary collaborative project set up to research how legal decisions on children are being made in the new South Africa, and how children's rights are faring in practice in a variety of relevant settings.

Beginnersgids Vir Regstudente is bedoel vir studente wat vir die eerste keer met die reg te doen kry.

Dit bied ’n breë, gebruikersvriendelike oorsig van die reg in eenvoudige taal, toegelig met voorbeelde en diagramme. Die klem val op praktiese vaardighede wat nodig is om regte te studeer, om die bronne van die reg te hanteer en om regsnavorsing te doen. ’n Kritiese benadering tot die reg word by studente aangekweek.

Hierdie uitgawe word vergesel van ’n CD-ROM wat bykomstige studiemateriaal en leiding aan studente verskaf.

Hierdie nuwe bekendstelling behels 'n omvattende uiteensetting van die generieke vereistes gemeen aan alle vorderingsaksies gebaseer op ongegronde verrykingsreg en voeg daaraan toe die eiesoor tige aspekte wat in die regspraak vir spesifieke vorderings ontwikkel het. In elke onderafdeling word die toonaangewende uitsprake daarvoor afsonderlik belig en bespreek. Wat hierdie werk ook onmisbaar maak vir praktisyns is die insluiting van 'n deeglike trefwoordregister vir vinnige naslaandoeleindes.

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. The book constitutes a general and fully referenced source on the law of persons, and reflects the transformation of the law of persons in line with the values entrenched in the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa, 1996, with specific reference to the Bill of Rights.

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.
