UNIQUE NUMBER:

Works Ltd v South A...
Due date for the submission of Assignment 01 is 11 March 2022.
For the first assignment, you are required to read two cases (which are referred to in the next paragraph).
Together with the reading of these cases, you must study all the relevant prescribed sections of the prescribed
textbook to fully answer the assignment question. Note that finding and reading the cases is part of showing that
you are able to conduct basic research, before you proceed to answer the question. When you read a case as
part of your researching exercise, you must identify whether a case is relevant to the facts in the problem-type
question, and if so, to what extent. As part of this exercise, you must also consider if a case is not relevant, and if
the facts therein are distinguishable to the facts in the question that you are dealing with.
• The two cases that you must read for the first assignment are Cape Explosive Works Ltd v South African Oil
and Fat Industries; Cape Explosive Works Ltd v Lever Brothers (South Africa) Ltd 1921 CPD 244, and A to Z
Bazaars (Pty) Ltd v Minister of Agriculture 1975 (3) SA 468 (A). You can find these judgments in conventional law
libraries, online at the website of the Southern African Legal Information Institute (SAFLII) (www.saflii.org), or as
an e-resource on the Unisa Library site. On the Unisa Library site click on “Find e-resources”. Then click on
“Subjects” and after that, scroll down the page and click on “Law”. Scroll down to and click on “Jutastat e-
Publications (Juta Law Online)” or “LexisNexis (South African Law)”, to find the South African cases that you are
looking for.
• Importantly, once you find and read the two cases mentioned in the previous paragraph, use these two cases to
also identify the relevant section(s) in the prescribed textbook to fully answer the assignment question. Study the
relevant section(s) of the textbook. Use these two cases that you read, and the relevant prescribed sections of
the prescribed textbook to fully answer the following question:
