A clear, practical guide to the foundations and applications of Roman-Dutch law. This work explains how the system handles property, succession, contracts, and rights in everyday cases.
Using concrete examples and historical context, the book covers topics such as wills and intestate succession, guardianship, contracts of sale and performance, and the duties surrounding mortgage and hypothecs. It presents the evolution of legal concepts from classical roots to the Dutch-influenced framework that shaped practice in southern Africa and beyond. The material is written to help readers grasp how rules work in real life, not just in theory.
Ideal for students and professionals seeking a solid, accessible introduction to this historical yet still influential legal tradition.
