Sectional Titles and Other Fragmented Property Schemes aims to describe the different forms of urban fragmented property schemes introduced by legislation. Therefore, the functioning of the management bodies of such schemes and the nature and effect of management and conduct rules are emphasised to indicate to what extent the idea of urban fragmented property holding has changed the property concept in the new constitutional dispensation in South Africa.

Relevant case law, new legislative developments, especially the amended Sectional Titles Act 95 of 1986, the Sectional Titles Schemes Management Act 8 of 2011, the Community Schemes Ombud Service Act 9 of 2011 and the Companies Act 71 of 2008, are discussed comprehensively to indicate how fragmented property schemes are governed and how disputes regarding use rights of individual sections and the common property of such schemes are solved.

Juta’s Property Law Library is aimed at revisiting and reassessing the whole of South African property law, which includes uncodified common law that is mostly embodied in case law, academic writing and legislation, to establish:

• how each aspect of property law was influenced by apartheid law;
• its response to the new constitutional dispensation (including land reform), and;
• whether it can make a contribution towards the transformation of South African law and society.

For this purpose, Juta’s Property Law Library will eventually consist of a number of monographs, each of which is focused on a specific aspect of property law.

Transformative Property Law honours Professor AJ Van der Walt (1956-2016) - scholar, mentor, and teacher. As the first incumbent of the DST/NRF South African Research Chair in Property Law his primary research goal was to develop the theoretical foundations for the transformation of property law in post-apartheid South Africa. Covering topics that are at the forefront of global thinking on property law, Transformative Property Law consists of 20 essays by a combination of senior and young scholars from South Africa, the United States of America, the United Kingdom, Ireland, the Netherlands, Belgium, and Zimbabwe. The essays focus on the themes that Professor Van der Walt developed during the first 10 years of the research chair, namely: (a) the single system of law and subsidiarity principles; (b) the marginality principle; (c) the development of the common law of property; (d) constitutional property law; and (e) property theory. This volume also includes a list of all Professor Van der Walt's research outputs and a list of all the Masters and Doctoral students that he supervised during his career.

Die doel van hierdie boek is om `n eerste inleiding tot die sakereg vir `n elementere kursus oor hierdie onderwerp te verskaf. Inleiding tot die Sakereg is spesifiek vir studente in so `n eerste kursus geskryf, en daarom is die inhoud beperk tot wat die outeurs as essensieel vir hierdie studente beskou. Vir dieselfde rede is voetnote nie gebruik nie; in `n inleidende kursus behoort die klem op die verstaan van basiese konsepte en beginsels te val eerder as op verdere bronne en materiaal. Daar is egter wel uitvoerig van voorbeelde uit die regspraak gebruik gemaak. Inleiding tot die Sakereg poog om die sakereg in die nuwe konstitusionele konteks uiteen te sit, en daarom is enkele hoofstukke oor die konstitusionele beskerming van eiendom en grondhervorming ingesluit. Hierdie nuwe uitgawe word ook as deel van Juta se Property Law Library gepubliseer omdat die doel, van daardie reeks is om die wisselwerking tussen die gemenereg, die grondwet en regshervorming in `n konstitusionele stelsel te illustreer. Synde `n inleiding is die boek anders as die ander volumes in die reeks in die sin dat dit spesifiek op studente gerig is.

This title explains the idea of urban fragmented property holding in South Africa, with reference to the different forms of urban fragmented property schemes introduced by legislation. Relevant case law and new legislative developments are discussed comprehensively to indicate how fragmented property schemes are governed and how disputes regarding use rights of individual sections and the common property of such schemes are solved.

The reworked and updated new edition of this widely-prescribed bestseller has been written specifically for second year students following a first course on the subject. Extensive use is made of examples and references to case law and the authors take cognisance of and accommodate the varying needs and teaching approaches at different universities.

As with the previous edition, this textbooks endeavours to provide a picture of the new law of property, and therefore chapters concerning the protection of rights in property in terms of the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa, 1996, are included.
