MCQ
1. Indicate the correct option.
Which one of the following things can be regarded as a res nullius?
(1)a domesticated tiger living in his owner‟s house
(2)an impala roaming in the bushes
(3)a Persian cat lying on the neighbor‟s patio
(4)a springbok kept on a private game farm for hunting purposes
ANSWER:
Option 2 is correct. A res nullius is a thing which does not belong to anyone. All
creatures that are wild by nature either in their natural state or when they have
reverted to their former wild state are regarded as res nullius. Wild animals that have
been tamed (option 1), domestic animals (option 3) or wild animals regulated by the
Game Theft Act 105 of 1991 (option 4), are not res nullius. An impala roaming in the
bushes is wild by nature and regarded as a res nullius.
See Study Guide pg 92
2. Indicate the correct option.
The following is an example of constructive delivery where a transferee is placed in
position to exercises physical control over a thing:
(1)delivery with the short hand
(2)symbolic delivery
(3)attornment
(4)cession of ownership
ANSWER:
Option 2 is correct. Constructive delivery is when there is no physical or actual handing
over of the thing. The transferee is either placed in a position to excercise physical
control, already in physical control or someone else exercises physical control on his/her
behalf. Examples of a transferee placed in a position to excercise physical control over
the thing are symbolic delivery, delivery with the long hand (traditio longa manu) and
bills of lading.
See Study Guide pg 132-134
3. Indicate the correct option.
The aim of the actio negatoria is:
(1)to determine the rights and duties of contesting parties.
(2)to claim the stolen thing or its highest value since the theft.
(3)to claim the market value of the thing that was destroyed or alienated with mala fide
intention.
(4)to protect ownership where a servitude holder exceeds the limits of
, p
her servitude. ANSWER:
Option 4 is correct. The actio negatoria is a property law remedy. It is a real action
aimed at protection of ownership in circumstances where third persons seek to
exercise rights of a servitude holder which they do not have or where servitude holders
exceed the limits of their servitude. The
, p
owner can institute this action against the violator and have to prove that he/she is the
owner and that there is a physical infringement of his/her entitlements of ownership.
See Study Guide pg 163 and 169
4. Indicate the correct option.
X and Y are co-owners of a farm. They built a road on the farm, which they use to
transport lime to the market. Without X's knowledge and approval Y gives permission to
a neighbour, Z, to use the road so that he can transport his lime to the market. X is
unhappy about the heavy traffic on the road and asks Y to revoke her permission to Z. X
also asks Z to discontinue his activities. Neither Y nor Z takes any notice of X. Which
remedy does X have against Y?
(1)X can claim damages from Y.
(2)X can institute the condictio furtiva against Y.
(3)X can approach the court for a declaratory order.
(4)X can institute the rei vindicatio
against Y. Answer:
option 1
5. Indicate the correct option.
S, X and Y‟ son, leases a portion of their farm. When his father's farm implements are
stolen, he gives some of his (rented) equipment to his father, X, to use. Father and son
have an argument. In his anger X destroys his son's rented equipment. Which remedy is
available to S?
(1)spoliation remedy
(2)condicio furtiva
(3)enrichment action
(4)possessory
action ANSWER:
Option 4 is correct. S is in control of the rented equipment. When a person who is in
control of a thing, loses control of the thing, he/she can restore his/her control with the
spoliation remedy. In this example the equipment is destroyed and S will not be able to
claim restoration of his control with the spoliation remedy. S will however be able to
claim damages resulting from the loss of control from X with the possessory action. S
can therefore claim the value of the equipment from X, who has a weaker right to
control it than what S has.
See Study Guide pg 212-213
6. Indicate the incorrect option.

(1)The servitude must have a degree of permanency.
(2)The servitude must enhance the use and benefit of the dominant tenement.
