Previous works on Southern African law have been directed primarily
to lawyers and students of law within Southern Africa; this is the
first major text on the topic written for use in common law
countries. The book identifies and describes judgments in Southern
Africa courts that are significant for their treatment of conflicts
and tort issues and can serve as authorities or models in common
law jurisdictions. The most important legislative reforms in
related subjects are also described. The text provides lawyers in
common law countries access to the Southern African cases and
statutes most pertinent to questions of conflict of laws and torts
that arise in common law jurisdiction. The judgments surveyed span
the years 1947 to the present. Most are from South Africa and
Zimbabwe (before and after independence), Botswana, Lesotho,
Swaziland, and South West Africa/Namibia; the South African
national states are also represented. Helpful English-language
commentaries on cases and statutes discussed in the text are cited
in the notes. Quick reference tables of cases and statutes, and
indexes of principal works cited and abbrevations complete this
useful guide. This invaluable sourcebook will allow lawyers and
scholars in common law countries to benefit from recognition and
appropriate use of Southern Africa's contributions to the common
law in torts and conflict of laws.
