The purpose of this book is to provide a first introduction for an undergraduate student in property law. As with earlier editions this eighth edition of the Introduction to the Law of Property was written specifically for students in an undergraduate module on the law of property. Therefore, the c...
have to play a large part in this process, but legislation cannot do all the work and therefore
judicial and doctrinal development of the common law and customary law is equally
important. It is therefore necessary to consider the direct and indirect effect and the
implications of the Constitution for the whole of existing property law, including uncodified
common law, case law and legislation.
Juta’s South African Property Law Library is aimed at revisiting and reassessing the whole
of South African property law, including the uncodified common law that is mostly embodied
in case law and academic writing, in order to establish how each aspect of property law was
influenced by apartheid law, how it responds to the new constitutional dispensation
(including land reform), and whether it could make a contribution towards the
transformation of South African law and society. For this purpose, the South African Property
Law Library will eventually consist of a number of monographs, each of which is focused on
one specific aspect of property law.

The seventh edition of Introduction to the Law of Property was revised and updated to
include new developments until July 2015.
This seventh edition of the Introduction is published as part of the series Juta’s Property
Law Library. Since the Introduction is primarily intended for use by students, it differs from
other volumes in the Property Law Library: no footnotes, no extensive doctrinal, analytical or
comparative analysis and no critical assessment in the constitutional context. It is after all a
student text. The Introduction is nevertheless not entirely dissimilary from the other
volumes in the series to the extent that it also explicitly and purposely places the material in
a constitutional and transformation-oriented perspective.
