Contract: General Principles

by Schalk W.J. Van Der Merwe, Louis F. Van Huyssteen, M.F.B. Reinecke

Contract: General Principles / Kontraktereg: Algemene Beginsels takes an analytical approach to the concepts, principles and rules pertaining to contracts, while, at the same time, placing contracts and the law relating to contracts within a wider jurisprudential and social context. The work combines an in-depth exposition and analysis of the theoretical basis and structure of the South African law of contract with a discussion of the application of these principles by the courts. This third edition takes cognisance of developments in the law, especially in respect of the influence of Constitutional jurisprudence and new legislation on contracts.
