About this publication
Transformative Property Law honours Professor AJ Van der Walt (1956–2016) – scholar, mentor, and teacher. As the first incumbent of the DST/NRF South African Research Chair in Property Law his primary research goal was to develop the theoretical foundations for the transformation of property law in post-apartheid South Africa.
Covering topics that are at the forefront of global thinking on property law, Transformative Property Law consists of 20 essays by a combination of senior and young scholars from South Africa, the United States of America, the United Kingdom, Ireland, the Netherlands, Belgium, and Zimbabwe. The essays focus on the themes that Professor Van der Walt developed during the first 10 years of the research chair, namely:
(a) the single system of law and subsidiarity principles;
(b) the marginality principle;
(c) the development of the common law of property;
(d) constitutional property law; and
(e) property theory.
This volume also includes a list of all Professor Van der Walt’s research outputs and a list of all the Masters and Doctoral students that he supervised during his career.
