Book Launch: Essays in Honour of CG van der Merwe
At a function which was held on Thursday 19 April 2012 in the Ou Hoofgebou (preceded by an academic colloquium), a volume of essays was handed to Prof CG (Cornie) van der Merwe. The purpose of the book is to honour Prof Van der Merwe for his remarkable career of more than 40 years as a legal academic. Prof Van der Merwe is currently a Senior Research Fellow in the Department of Private Law in the Faculty of Law, and he previously held chairs in the Department and at the University of Aberdeen in Scotland. He is an international expert in the fields of the law of property and sectional title law, and he has an A-rating from the NRF.
The book contains 19 chapters and, apart from South African contributions, it also has a strong international dimension with contributions from authors from Belgium, Germany, England, Hong Kong, Portugal, Singapore, Scotland and Spain. The book has been published by LexisNexis and the editors are Proff Hanri Mostert (University of Cape Town) and Marius de Waal (Stellenbosch University) – both ex-students of Prof Van Merwe and also contributors to the book.
