The aim of this work remains to set out the basic principles of
South African private law systematically, in clear unmistakable
language, and as comprehensively as is possible in a single volume.
Over the years, Wille's principles has appealed to judges,
practitioners and students alike, and this edition is also written
with the needs of these groups in mind. This edition, of which Dale
Hutchison was general editor, was a notable success in this regard,
and we have sought to follow its example of balancing the retention
of the basic structure of the work with innovation in the treatment
of its subject matter and the dissemination of original research.
We have nevertheless as far as possible maintained the very useful
practice in previous editions of citing the older, original
authority for a proposition alongside contemporary sources. Many of
the changes were necessitated or inspired by the Constitution,
which has radically altered the foundations of our legal system.
The impact of the Bill of Rights on private law has been
significant and is growing, via both the horizontal application of
fundamental rights and their legislative implementation and
elaboration. This is reflected in the structure and content of the
new introductory general part as well as in the text of virtually
every chapter. Importantly, the constitution has given new
prominence to indigenous customary law, and in this edition we have
sought, where possible in and relevant for a work of this nature,
to reflect its status as equal partner of the common law. This has
led to major changes in almost all of the chapters on Persons and
the Family. The frequency of far-reaching judicial changes to the
law combined with the uncertainties of legislative timetables to
necessitate several significant revisions during the final stages
of preparation for publication.
