Product Description
Law of Property Casebook for Students (9th edition)
Authors: JG Horn, IM Knobel, M Wiese
Format: Physical Hardcopy
This casebook provides undergraduate students with property law cases and materials accompanied by insightful and critical commentary.
The layout and structure of case reports and legislation are discussed and explained, and students are provided with practical hints and advice regarding the reading of cases and legislation. One case is reproduced in full and used as an example of how cases should be read and analysed. Other cases are reproduced selectively to allow students to develop and exercise their skills in the reading and analysis of cases.
The ninth edition (2021) was updated with case law up to December 2020. In view of financial considerations, the decision was made to produce this edition in English only. In some instances, cases which were discussed in some detail in the eighth edition of the Introduction to the Law of Property were not discussed again in the Casebook, since the idea is that these two books should be used together.
We, therefore, approached the updating of the Introduction and the Casebook as one integrated project instead of two separate books. Under its new authorship, it was also decided to provide unofficial translations of the Afrikaans decisions to make some landmark/important law of property cases accessible to a greater number of students. These translations are in no way meant to be quoted in any official capacity. It was merely translated for the benefit and use of students.
It was also decided to expand Part 6 and to include relevant legislation that is dealt with frequently in the law of property. The addition of this legislation would be specifically helpful to students when studying some aspects of the work.
