Dr Theo Broodryk has, upon invitation, been awarded the prestigious Beaufort (Colenso) Scholarship by St John’s College, Cambridge University in the United Kingdom. Dr Broodryk will conduct a research visit at Cambridge University during the 2019 Michaelmas term on the regulation of small amount credit and how the private law interacts with social policy and social welfare. It will specifically be aimed at considering the regulation of modest credit amounts and the different dispute resolution methods available under South African and English consumer protection legislation, including class actions. The research will aim to make a contribution to the future development of legal theory in this regard.
