Case studies of the changing interpretations of land restitution legislation in South AfricaBelling, Frank Edward Albert 29 February 2008 (has links)
This study briefly discusses land restitution in several countries in Europe and the Americas, the history of land deprivation in South Africa, and the legislation introduced to remedy the inequality of land ownership.
Differing interpretations of the legislation in respect of the valuation of land to be purchased by the state for restitution purposes and the valuation formulae recommended at various times by the state and its advisors are discussed. Some of the problems encountered in the implementation of the South African restitution program, including the highly emotional expropriation/confiscation issues, are mentioned.
Three case studies based on these differing interpretations are given. The case studies illustrate the evolution of the interpretations of the legislation concerning land restitution valuations in South Africa. / School: Management sciences / M. Tech. (Real Estate)

Aspects of the nature and online resolution of domain-name disputesHurter, Eddie 08 1900 (has links)
The thesis analyses selected aspects of domain-name law, mainly from the perspective
of trade-mark law. It discusses the evolution of the domain-name system and how it
operates as background to a more detailed discussion of the theoretical classification
of domain names. The thesis then examines the interplay between trade marks and
domain names, and the resolution of domain-name disputes resulting from the inherent
tension between these two systems. The main principles of domain-name dispute
resolution are identified by way of an analysis of the panel decisions handed down in
terms of the international Uniform Dispute Resolution Policy (UDRP) and the South
African domain name dispute resolution regulations. This analysis always addresses,
too, the extent to which national trade-mark law principles (with reference to the laws
of South Africa, the United Kingdom, and the United States of America) apply, and the
extent to which this is appropriate. / Private Law / LL.D.

Simulated contracts and the transfer of ownership as a form of real security in South African lawTerblanche, Francis Stephen 10 1900 (has links)
Money lenders frequently use sale and lease back agreements as an
alternative to other more conventional forms of security. These
agreements are popular because they are simple and inexpensive to put
in place. Unfortunately, South African courts give legal effect to the true
intention of contracting parties. Sale and lease back agreements are
often held to be simulated contracts and as such they are enforced as
disguised pledges. One of the few alternative security options available to
money lenders, is a notarial bond registered in terms of the Security By
Means of Movable Property Act 57 of 1993. This act has been criticised
for creating an ineffective form of security that is costly and cumbersome
to put in place. It is suggested that the current security options available
to money lenders are supplemented with the creation of a more user
friendly public register for the registration of security interests. / Private Law / LL.M.

Human capital disclosure in corporate annual reportsAdelowotan, Michael Olajide 19 May 2014 (has links)
It is generally acknowledged that human capital intangibles are major value drivers in the new economy characterised by information and technology. The main purpose of this study is to examine the extent to which companies listed on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange disclose information on human capital related issues. The study combined both qualitative (literature reviews and content analysis) and quantitative (survey questionnaire) methods to collect data of 60 corporate annual reports (CARs) of listed companies in South Africa from survey questionnaires administered on various categories of preparers and users of these CARs.
The study made use of 91 human capital disclosure checklists developed from literature reviews for the purpose of data collection. The data analysis was done with the aid of Atlasti-a qualitative data analysis software and SPSS- a quantitative data analysis software.
The findings show that majority of the items on the disclosure checklist are not yet disclosed in the CARs even though most of the items on the checklist are adjudged to be useful for organisational value creation. In view of the initial findings of this study, a human capital disclosure framework is recommended. / Business Management / D. Accounting Science

The law giveth and the law taketh away : Marriages out of community of property excluding accrual post 1984/88Welsh, Shirley Anne Vera 11 1900 (has links)
Because women are predominantly responsible for childcare, men are the primary income
earners. Having acquired the marital assets, on divorce the husband would retain them in a
marriage out of community of property. The wife would be left deskilled, financially
dependent, with little likelihood of receiving spousal maintenance and with no marital assets.
In 1984 the Matrimonial Property Act and in 1988 the Matrimonial Property Law Amendment
Act introduced a judicial discretion to equitably redistribute marital assets in certain
marriages out of community. This dissertation argues that the bases for the limitation of the
judicial discretion to women married before a certain date are unsound and that the limitation
arguably violates the equality clause of the Constitution. / Law / LL.M.

Legal and policy aspects to consider when providing information security in the corporate environmentDagada, Rabelani 11 1900 (has links)
E-commerce is growing rapidly due to the massive usage of the Internet to conduct commercial transactions. This growth has presented both customers and merchants with many advantages. However, one of the challenges in E-commerce is information security. In order to mitigate e-crime, the South African government promulgated laws that contain information security legal aspects that should be integrated into the establishment of information security. Although several authors have written about legal and policy aspects regarding information security in the South African context, it has not yet been explained how these aspects are used in the provision of information security in the South African corporate environment.
This is the premise upon which the study was undertaken. Forty-five South African organisations participated in this research. Data gathering methods included individual interviews, website analysis, and document analysis.
The findings of this study indicate that most organisations in South Africa are not integrating legal aspects into their information security policies. One of the most important outcomes of this study is the proposed Concept Model of Legal Compliance in the Corporate Environment. This Concept Model embodies the contribution of this study and demonstrates how legal requirements can be incorporated into information security endeavours. The fact that the proposed Concept Model is technology-independent and that it can be implemented in a real corporate environment, regardless of the organisation’s governance and management structure, holds great promise for the future of information security in South Africa and abroad.
Furthermore, this thesis has generated a topology for linking legislation to the provision of information security which can be used by any academic or practitioner who intends to implement information security measures in line with the provisions of the law. It is on the basis of this premise that practitioners can, to some extent, construe that the integration of legislation into information security policies can be done in other South African organisations that did not participate in this study. Although this study has yielded theoretical, methodological and practical contributions, there is, in reality, more research work to be done in this area. / School of Computing / D. Phil.

A comparison of Kenyan and South African law on security by means of movablesKoli, Natasha Mwende 16 October 2015 (has links)
This study compares the legal principles applicable in both South Africa and Kenya in the creation of security by means of movables. It identifies the forms of security that can be created in the two jurisdictions. The main focus will be on the creation, publicity, priority of security interest and enforcement of the said interests. The research will in addition establish the challenges (if any) that are encountered when creating security by means of movables in Kenya and identify practical solutions that can be adopted in order to improve the creation of security by means of movables in Kenya. / Private Law / LL.

The justification of expropriation for economic developmentSlade, Bradley Virgill 12 1900 (has links)
Thesis (LLD)--Stellenbosch University, 2012. / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Section 25(2) of the 1996 Constitution states that property may only be expropriated for a public purpose or in the public interest and compensation must be paid. This dissertation analyses the public purpose and public interest requirement in light of recent court decisions, especially with regard to third party transfer of expropriated property for economic development purposes.
The public purpose requirement is explained in terms of pre-constitutional case law to create a context in which to understand the public purpose and public interest in terms of the 1996 Constitution. This leads to a discussion of whether third party transfers for economic development purposes are generally for a public purpose or in the public interest. The legitimacy of the purpose of both the expropriation and the transfer of property to third parties in order to realise the purpose is considered. Conclusions from a discussion of foreign case law dealing with the same question are used to analyse the South African cases where third party transfers for economic development have been addressed. Based on the overview of foreign case law and the critical analysis of South African cases, the dissertation sets out guidelines that should be taken into account when this question comes up again in future.
The dissertation also considers whether an expropriation can be set aside if alternative means, other than expropriating the property, are available that would also promote the purpose for which the property was expropriated. Recent decisions suggest that alternative and less invasive measures are irrelevant when the expropriation is clearly for a public purpose. However, the dissertation argues that less invasive means should be considered in cases where it is not immediately clear that the expropriation is for a valid public purpose or in the public interest, such as in the case of a third party transfer for economic development.
The role of the public purpose post-expropriation is considered with reference to purposes that are not realised or are abandoned and subsequently changed. In this regard the dissertation considers whether the state is allowed to change the purpose for which the property was expropriated, and also under which circumstances the previous owner would be entitled to reclaim the expropriated property when the public purpose that justifies the expropriation falls away. It is contended that the purpose can be changed, but that the new purpose must also comply with the constitutional requirements. / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Artikel 25(2) van die Grondwet van 1996 vereis dat `n onteining slegs vir `n openbare doel of in die openbare belang mag plaasvind, en dat vergoeding betaalbaar is. In die proefskrif word die openbare doel en openbare belang geanaliseer in die lig van onlangse regspraak wat veral verband hou met die onteining van grond wat oorgedra word aan derde partye vir doeleindes van ekonomiese ontwikkeling.
Die openbare doel vereiste word geanaliseer in die lig van respraak voor die aanvang van die grondwetlike bedeling om beide die openbare doel en openbare belang in terme van die Grondwet van 1996 te verstaan. Op grond van hierdie bespreking word die vraag ondersoek of die onteiening van grond vir ekonomiese ontwikkeling en die oordrag daarvan aan derde partye vir `n openbare doel of in die openbare belang is. Gevolgtrekkings uit `n oorsig van buitelandse respraak waarin dieselfde vraag reeds behandel is dien as maatstaf vir die Suid-Afrikaanse regspraak oor die vraag te evalueer. Op grond van die kritiese analise van die buitelandse regspraak word sekere aanbevelings gemaak wat in ag geneem behoort te word indien so `n vraag weer na vore kom.
Die vraag of `n onteiening ter syde gestel kan word omdat daar `n alternatiewe, minder ingrypende manier is om die openbare doel te bereik word ook in die proefskrif aangespreek. In onlangse regspraak word aangedui dat die beskikbaarheid van ander, minder ingrypende maniere irrelevant is as die onteiening vir `n openbare doel of in die openbare belang geskied. Daar word hier aangevoer dat die beskikbaarheid van alternatiewe metodes in ag geneem behoort te word in gevalle waar dit onduidelik is of die onteining vir `n openbare doel of in die openbare belang geskied, soos in die geval van oordrag van grond aan derde partye vir ekonomiese ontwikkelingsdoeleindes.
Ter aansluiting by die vraag of die onteining van grond vir oordrag aan derdes vir ekonomiese ontwikkeling geldig is, word die funksie van die openbare doel na onteiening ook ondersoek. Die vraag is of die staat geregtig is om die doel waarvoor die eiendom onteien is na afloop van die onteiening te verander. Die vraag in watter gevalle die vorige eienaar van die grond teruggawe van die grond kan eis word ook aangespreek. Daar word aangevoer dat die staat die doel waarvoor die eiendom benut word kan verander, maar dat die nuwe doel ook moet voldoen aan die grondwetlike vereistes. / South African Research Chair in Property Law, sponsored by the Department of Science and Technology, administered by the National Research Foundation and hosted by Stellenbosch University / Cuicci bursary fund / Faculty of Law Stellenbosch University

Suur druiwe? Wyn, die TDCA en Suid-AfrikaPenwarden, Mia 12 1900 (has links)
Thesis (MA)--University of Stellenbosch, 2002. / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: In October 1999 South Africa and the European Union (EU) signed a free
trade agreement, the Trade Development and Co-operation Agreement
(TDCA), which came into effect on 1 January 2000. The TDCA was
developed to enhance bilateral trade, economic-, political- and social cooperation
and consists of three components - the creation of a Free Trade
Area between South-Africa and the EU, EU financial aid to South Africa
through the European Programme for Reconstruction and Development
(EPRD), and project aid. However, the EU, in an effort to secure the best
possible deal for itself, often behave in its own interests (through the
manipulation of the Wine and Spirits Agreement) during the negotiations for
the TDCA.
The goal of this study was to establish what exactly trademarks are, and what
implications the EU's protection of intellectual property rights on wine and
spirits trademarks will have on i) the South African wine industry, ii) whether
South Africa could have exercised another option, iii) whether this action has
created a precedent with which the EU can, in future, again force South Africa
or any of its other developing trade partners to make concessions, and iv)
who gains the most from the TDCA.
The concludes that the EU, through the manipulation of the Wine and Spirits
Agreement, left South Africa with no choice by to concede the use of the
contested trademarks - something that has already taken its toll on the South
African wine industry - in order to save the TDCA. This action created a
precedent that the EU will, in future, again be in a position to threaten
developing countries with the termination of an agreement should they fail to
comply with its demands. Finally, the conclusion is made that even though the
TDCA was created to assist South Africa with its reintegration into the world
market, it will ultimately be the EU that benefits most from the agreement. / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Suid-Afrika en die Europese Unie (EU) het in Oktober 1999 In
vryehandelsooreenkoms, die Trade Development and Co-operation
Agreement (TDCA) onderteken, wat op 1 Januarie 2000 in werking getree het.
Die TDCA is ontwerp om bilaterale handel-, ekonomiese-, politieke- en sosiale
samewerking te bevorder en bestaan uit drie komponente, naamlik die skep
van 'n vryehandelgebied tussen die EU en Suid-Afrika; finansiele steun deur
die EU aan Suid-Afrika onder die European Programme for Reconstruction
and Development (EPRD) en projekhulp. Die EU het egter dikwels in
eiebelang opgetree (deur middel van die manipulasie van die Wyn- en
Spiritus Ooreenkoms) tydens die onderhandelingsproses in 'n poging om die
beste moontlike ooreenkoms vir homself te beding.
Die doel van hierdie studie was om te bepaal wat presies handelsmerke is, en
watter implikasies die EU se beskerming van intellektuele eiendomsregte
aangaande wyn- en spiritushandelsmerke op i) die Suid-Afrikaanse wynbedryf
sal he, ii) of Suid-Afrika 'n ander opsie kon uitoefen, iii) of hierdie aksie In
presedent geskep het waarmee die EU Suid-Afrika of enige van sy ander
ontwikkelende handelsvennote in die toekoms weer sal kan dwing om
toegewings te maak, en iv) wie die meeste baat vind by die TDCA.
Die studie het tot die gevolgtrekking gekom dat die EU deur die manipulasie
van die Wyn- en Spiritus Ooreenkoms aan Suid-Afrika geen keuse gegee het
nie as om die gebruik van die betwiste handelsmerke op te se - iets wat
reeds die Suid-Afrikaanse wynbedryf geknou het - in 'n poging om die TDCA
te behou. Hierdie optrede skep 'n presedent dat die EU voortaan in
onderhandelings met ander ontwikkelende state weer kan dreig om die hele
ooreenkoms te verongeluk indien daar nie aan sy eise voldoen word nie. In
die laaste instansie is daar tot die gevolgtrekking gekom dat, alhoewel die
TDCA daarop gemik was om Suid-Afrika te help met sy herintegrasie tot die
wereldmark, dit uiteindelik die EU is wat die meeste daarby gaan baat.
