THE LAW OF DELICT
2014
COURSE OUTLINE
LECTURER: L NIESING

Room s5
, 1 INTRODUCTION
OVERVIEW
The Law of Delict is a year-course taught in the penultimate year of study in the LLB
program. The course is designed to provide students with a detailed understanding of
the Law of Delict and to develop and enhance the skills that are necessary for legal
practice in the context of delictual claims.
The content of this course is largely based on case law. Since the law of delict is largely
based on common-law principles, it follows that case law represents the foundation for
delictual principles and theory. Thus, it also follows that the law of delict does not
consist of a static set of rules. It is a dynamic subject which continues to develop mainy
through caselaw; hence the heavy reliance on case law. The course emphasises the
understanding of delictual principles (which is broad in nature) and how they are
applied in practice. Primary objectives are to develop research, problem-solving,
critical-thinking and reasoning skills.
