9.4 All margins must be 2.5cm, but the left margin must be 3cm.
9.5 South African English and not American English should be used. For example, the correct
spelling is “Labour” and not “Labor”.
9.6 Do not use abbreviations or SMS language.
9.7 All quotes that are two lines long (or less), must form part of the main text, be written in italics,
and be bracketed by quotation marks. Where a quotation is longer than two lines, it must be
typed in a separate paragraph in italics in size 11 font and must be indented by 1 cm. No
quotation marks are required when the quotations stand alone. Use quotations very sparingly.
In this portfolio, a maximum of 5% of the text may be quoted.
10. When answering the portfolio questions, remember that an open-book exam is a test at a
higher level than the usual type of exam, where memory is tested as much as insight. In an
open-book exam, you need not memorise any information. You are expected to prove that
you can use information, rather than merely repeat it. In brief, what is being tested is factual
knowledge, understanding and the correct application thereof, not memory skills. For this
reason, you do not earn marks by merely detailing a list of all the information that you think
might be relevant to a particular question. This gives no indication that you know what
statutory or other provisions are applicable in a specific context. You are expected to identify
precisely what information applies, and then explain why you think so. Also, because you
have the guide available when answering questions, we do not give marks for direct
quotations from the guide. You are therefore assessed on your level of understanding of the
legal principles by looking at how well you applied the principles to the questions. PLEASE
DO NOT CUT AND PASTE ANSWERS FROM ANY SOURCE. THIS CONSTITUTES
PLAGIARISM WHICH HAS SERIOUS DISCIPLINARY CONSEQUENCES.
11. The arguments that you make must be logical, well-structured and substantiated by all of the
relevant legal principles. You are given 2 hours to complete the portfolio. Use the time
given wisely.
11.1 Ensure that you give reasons for each answer. Substantiate your answers by referring to ALL
the relevant authorities, e.g. sections from relevant legislation and/or court cases in the text
or in your footnotes.
11.2 You are required to have read and summarised the prescribed cases yourself. When using
case law to support your answer, please include complete references to the relevant cases
in your footnotes. This means that you must not only include the name of the case but also
the exact page and section and/or paragraph where the information can be found.
11.3 Students often lose marks because they do not approach problem-type questions correctly.
When answering such questions, it is important to first clarify for yourself the area of work
where the answer must be sought. Once you have done this, set out the relevant legal
principles. Deal only with those principles that relate to the given facts. Next, apply these
principles to the facts. This is where most of the students lose marks - they set out the law in
