The Constitutional Property Clause

Since the introduction of the new constitutional order in 1994, South African practitioners have been confronted with new or unfamiliar areas of the law, strange sources and outdated methodologies. This book is directed at legal practitioners in the fields of property and constitutional law, as well as students dealing with this area of the law. The text is a comparative analysis of the main issues raised by the interpretation and application of the property clause, and includes issues such as the limitation of property rights, the concept of property, and compensation for expropriation. There is also a special chapter dealing with land reform and the protection of property, and the promotion of land-reform initiatives.
