PURPOSE OF MODULE In this module, we cover a wide variety of aspects of general contract law principles. These principles are usually applicable to all contracts, to some degree or another. However, many contracts have their own specific principles and rules which are sometimes particular applications of the general principles and sometimes completely unique to the type of contract in question. Although reference may be made to certain specific contracts in the material for purposes of illustration, the detailed study of specific contracts such as sale, lease or suretyship is not part of this module. Nevertheless, a study of general contract principles is not possible without reference to case studies involving specific types of contracts to which these principles have been applied. The subjects covered in the material are for the most part regulated by the common law, but there are also references to important legislative provisions. This module is essentially aimed at third-year students because of the complexity of the contract law principles involved. The purpose of this module is to teach you the general principles of the law of contract as they have been developed by the courts and, in certain instances, modified by statutory law. The purpose is furthermore to equip you with the necessary knowledge, skills and competencies to interpret and apply the positive law, as well as the statutory provisions where applicable, and to solve practical problems by applying the general principles of the law of contract. If you follow the study guide properly in conjunction with the prescribed textbook and tutorial letters, work through all the activities in the study guide and answer all the questions in the assignment, you should acquire the skills (set out in the learning outcomes below) that we require of you. LEARNINS OUTcOMES A range of tasks in the study guide or tutorial letters, assignments and examinations will show that students have achieved the outcomes. Outcome1 Identify and understand the role of the general principles of the law of contract and selected aspects of the law of obligations in current South African law and everyday life.
