The Law of Delict in South Africa, third edition, offers an introduction to the general principles of delictual law. Comprehensive in scope, while clear and concise, the text provides a rich contextual framework which supports understanding and application of the principles.

Thoroughly revised and updated to July 2017, the third edition reflects important legal developments, including new material relating to statutory liability for compensation, a focus on cyber and media issues, conduct and liability, and a discussion which frames the law of delict within the context of a constitutionally transformative, multi-cultural society.

The implications of the Electronic Communications and Transactions Act 25 of 2002 and the Protection of Personal Information Act 4 of 2013, within the law of delict, are highlighted. The text supports learning and the development of independent academic skills through challenging and engaging pedagogical features, which bring an applied, critical and reflective approach to the content.
