Everyone's Guide to South African Law (3RD EDITION)

The law affects us all, and even your most basic day-to-day choices and actions have legal implications. Yet few people have much knowledge of the law or understand complicated legal terminology – and lawyers’ fees are beyond many people’s reach.

This book will provide you with the necessary information on a wide range of legal issues that may impact on your daily life – at work, in the home, on the road, in the marketplace, and in the courtroom.

Written by experts specifically for the layperson, the book’s everyday language is free of obscure legal jargon. It is easily understandable, informative and essential for each and every household in South Africa.

What’s new in the third edition?
This new edition includes new or expanded information on parental rights and responsibilities; custody issues and adoption; running a business; companies and close corporations; debt review; traffic offences and accidents; the Consumer Protection Act and the National Credit Act.

"Everyone’s Guide to South African Law is the book for you … translating usually unintelligible legal jargon into a format that everyone can understand. Everything you need to know in one book."
