    Jerrier v Outsurance Insurance Company Limited [2015] 3 All SA 701 (KZP)

    Get PDF
    As shown by the author in an earlier case note, (Church ‘Jerrier v Outsurance Insurance Company Ltd The duty to disclose: An ongoing problem?’ 2013 De Jure 859), the case of Jerrier v Outsurance Insurance Company Ltd (2013 JDR 0562 (KZP) (Jerrier a quo)) highlights the fact that the duty to disclose is still problematic. A concern highlighted in the note, was the fact, as a result of this decision, that short term insurers believed the judgment to mean that consumers are obliged to report to their insurers every minor incident, such as driving through a pothole or a scratch on their car, even where they elect not to lodge a claim for the resultant damage – failing which, their insurance claims might be rejected. This interpretation, in the opinion of the author was incorrect (an opinion now vindicated by the court of appeal).http://www.dejure.up.ac.zaam2017Mercantile La

    TB160: The Horse Flies and Deer Flies of Maine (Diptera, Tabanidae)

    Get PDF
    The distribution of Maine Tabanidae is of special interest because of the number of species with more southern ranges which reach their northeastern limit in Maine. A few northern species reach their southern limit in the state. This paper includes all of the species known or likely to be found in Maine with specific localities by county for the more unusual species and for species not found throughout the state.https://digitalcommons.library.umaine.edu/aes_techbulletin/1036/thumbnail.jp

    The Corondimas principle is still alive and well :. Diggers Development (Pty) Ltd v City of Matlosana : Case no 824/2010. [2011] ZASCA 247

    It is a trite principle of the law of contract that a condition is an uncertain future event upon which either the commencement of the duty to perform or the contract’s continued existence is made dependent. The effect of a suspensive condition can be summarised as follows (see Otto and Prozesky-Kuschke “General principles of the law of contract” in Nagel (ed) Commercial law (2011) 114–115): A condition is suspensive when the right or duty to performance in terms of a contract is suspended or postponed pending (and thus made dependent upon) the occurrence or non-occurrence of an uncertain future event specified in the contract. Pending the fulfilment of the condition, a contractual relationship indeed exists between the parties. One of the consequences of the existence of a contractual relationship is that neither party can withdraw from the contract and that any additional duty must be performed. Upon fulfilment of the condition, the parties are entitled to performance and obliged to perform. Before fulfilment, performance may not be claimed. If the condition is not fulfilled, the contract is terminated and neither party has to perform. In addition, either party is entitled to the return of anything already performed (see also Hutchison and Pretorius (eds) The law of contract in South Africa (2009) 247–248; Van der Merwe et al Contract general principles (2007) 289–293; Van Rensburg et al “Contract” 5(1) LAWSA (2004) paras 436–437; Kerr The Principles of the law of contract (2002) 446–449 and Christie The law of contract in South Africa (2011) 145 and authorities cited).http://www.lexisnexis.co.zaam201

    RECONSIDERING AN UNDERSTANDING OF DAMAGES AS A SURROGATE OF SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE IN SOUTH AFRICAN LAW OF CONTRACT

    Get PDF
    The South African law of contract provides three broad types of remedies in the event of breach of contract: Remedies aimed at keeping the contract alive;Remedies aimed at cancelling the agreement; andRemedies aimed at compensating the innocent party for loss or harm caused by the breach.The claim for contractual damages is a remedy in the third category serving a compensatory function in the law of contract as a matter of corrective justice. The jurisprudential underpinning and reason for its grant have been a prominent issue in contract law theory and have been explored and analysed in depth.For instance Fuller and Perdue's seminal work The Reliance Interest in Contract Damages provides a distinctive purposive understanding of contract theory through its compensatory function in the form of contractual damages.  But a topic often less explored or considered is the underpinning of an order of specific performance, being a remedy of the first category above in upholding and enforcing the contract

    Lesungen fĂŒr Segnungsfeiern gleichgeschlechtlicher Paare, queer ausgelegt. : Jonathans Zusage der Lebensgemeinschaft an David (1 Sam 18,1-4) und Ruths Treueschwur gegenĂŒber Noomi (Ruth 1,14-17)

    Full text link
    (1) In den biblischen Kontexten von 1 Sam 18,1-4 und Ruth 1,14-17 kommen keine reinen Paarbeziehungen, sondern nur Mehrfachbeziehungen vor. Das verweist auf ein VerstĂ€ndnis von Ehe und Hochzeit, welches sich von unserem heutigen unterscheidet. (2) In der ersten Begegnung zwischen David und Jonathan in 1 Sam 18,1-4, der Lesung fĂŒr ein MĂ€nnerpaar, sagt Jonathan David (ein Name, der nicht anderes als "der Geliebte" bedeutet) seine Lebensgemeinschaft zu. Gleichzeitig mit Jonathans wiederholter Liebesbekundung an David nimmt König Saul diesen schönen, im Kampf erfolgreichen JĂŒngling zu sich und lĂ€sst ihn nicht wieder ins Haus seines Vaters zurĂŒckkehren. David könnte deshalb mit einer neu verheirateten Braut verglichen werden, die in den Haushalt ihres Ehemanns einzieht. (3) Sprechende Namen unterstĂŒtzen eine queere Interpretation der Lesung Ruth 1,14-17 fĂŒr ein Frauenpaar: Aus damaliger wie heutiger Sicht kann nicht ausgeschlossen werden, dass die Beziehung Ruths, "der Freund_in", zu Noomi, der "Lustvollen", als erotisch motiviert verstanden wird: Ruth hĂ€ngt sich in Ruth 1,14 fest an ihre Schwiegermutter an und schwört Noomi in Ruth 1,16-17 lebenslange Treue. Ähnliche Formulierungen im Buch Ruth und im zweiten Schöpfungsbericht legen aus queerer Sicht ein eheĂ€hnliches VerhĂ€ltnis zwischen Ruth und Noomi nahe. (1) In the biblical contexts both of 1 Sam 18:1-4 and of Ruth 1:14-17 we do not find pure partner relationships but multiple relationships. This suggests an understanding of marriage and wedding that differs from our present-day notions. (2) In the first encounter between David and Jonathan in 1 Sam 18:1-4 – the reading for a male couple – Jonathan pledges life partnership to David (a name that means nothing but "the beloved"). Simultaneously with Jonathan's repeated expressions of affection for David, King Saul takes this beautiful young man, victorious in battle, home and does not allow him to return to his fatherÊŒs house. This is why David might be compared to a newly married bride who moves into the household of her spouse. (3) The telling names sustain a queer interpretation of the reading Ruth 1:14-17 for a female couple: From both a biblical and a present-day perspective it cannot be ruled out that the relationship between Ruth, "the girlfriend", and Naomi, "the sweetheart", is understood as erotically motivated: besides clinging to her mother-in-law in Ruth 1:14, Ruth swears lifelong fidelity to Naomi in Ruth 1:16-17. Parallel formulations in the Book of Ruth and the second creation account suggest a quasi-marital relationship between Ruth and Naomi from a queer perspective

    Wet op onderverdeling van landbougrond, opsies om te koop en verbandhoudende aangeleenthede

    Get PDF
    Hierdie bydrae toon aan hoe die Wet op Onderverdeling van Landbougrond in die 45- jarige bestaan daarvan tot magdom beslissings aanleiding gegee het en hoe die tersaaklike bepalings daarvan oor die jarige gewysig is om by veranderende tye en behoeftes aan te pas. In die besonder word aandag gegee aan die doel van die Wet en die onlangse beslissing in Four Arrows en die implikasies wat die beslissing inhou vir opsies, voorkoopsregte, skenkings en ruilkontrakte ten opsigte van die verdeling van landbougrond. Die gevolgtrekking is dat die Wet so gou moontlik geskrap moet word aangesien dit meer probleme skep as wat dit oplos. Daar word voorgestel dat die vereiste van ministeriële toestemming vir die onderverdeling van landbougrond eerder in ander wetgewing, soos die Registrasie van Aktes Wet 47 van 1937 en die Grondopmetingswet 8 van 1997, opgeneem kan word.http://www.lexisnexis.co.za2016-12-31am2016Mercantile La
