Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Introduction to Roman-Dutch Law This book, as its title indicates, is an Introduction to roman-dutch Law. It has grown out of a course of lectures delivered in the University of London at intervals in the years 1906 - 14. During this time I was frequently asked by students to recommend a text-book which would help them in their reading and perhaps enable them to satisfy the requirements of the University or of the Council of Legal Education. The book was not to be found. The classical Introduction to the Jurisprudence of the Province of Holland of Grotius, published in the year 1631, inevitably leaves the reader in a state of bewilderment as to the nature and content of the Roman Dutch Law administered at the present day by the Courts of South Africa, Ceylon, and British Guiana. The same must be said of the treatise of Simon van Leeuwen entitled The roman-dutch Law, published in 1664, and of the elementary Handbook of J oannes van der Linden, published in 1806.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of the Roman-Dutch Law I must warn the reader that he will find little if anything in this work to enable him to pass any of our university examinations. We in South Africa do not require law to be studied as a science. The University of the Cape of Good Hope grants a degree in law without requiring a knowledge of the history of the Roman law, much less of the Roman Dutch law. Instead of making its requirements such that the student is compelled to study law as a science, and not as a mere tool, it is quite satisfied if he can digest enough law to be able to plead some elementary cause.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Introduction to Roman-Dutch Law The first edition of this book published in 1915 was designed to present a survey of the Roman-Dutch Law as it then existed in South Africa, in Ceylon, and in British Guiana. From January 1, 1917, this system was replaced in British Guiana by the Common Law of England. Consequently in the second edition, published in 1926, British Guiana was omitted from the picture. South Africa and Ceylon remained, the former being without question the predominant partner. In the interval of thirty years which has elapsed since the first edition, legislation of the Union Parliament and decisions of the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of South Africa have been active in consolidating the law of the Union. To the extent to which these influences operate the old law either takes a new shape or fades into the background. Even today an immense chasm separates the Roman-Dutch Law of Holland from the modern law of South Africa. In another half-century, or less, recourse to the old authorities, which still form the basis of this book, will seldom be made. The Roman-Dutch Law will have been superseded in South Africa, not per saltum, as in British Guiana, but by a gradual process of disintegration and re-statement. This, rather than codification, may be predicted as the future of the Roman-Dutch Law in this part of the world. Meanwhile, in the Union of South Africa, if not elsewhere in equal degree, many institutions of the old law exhibit a stubborn persistency.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An excerpt from the GENERAL INTRODUCTION: THE phrase 'Roman-Dutch Law' was invented by The Simon van Leeuwen, who employed it as the subtitle of his work entitled Paratitula Juris Novissimi, published at Leyden in 1652 and republished in 1656. Subsequently his larger and better known treatise on the 'Roman-Dutch Law' was issued under that name in the year 1664. The system of law thus described is that which obtained in the province of Holland during the existence of the Republic of the United Netherlands. Its main principles were carried by the Dutch into their settlements in the East and West Indies; and when some of these, namely the Cape of Good Hope, Ceylon, and part of Guiana, at the end of the eighteenth and the beginning of the nineteenth century, passed under the dominion of the Crown of Great Britain, the old law was retained as the common law of the territories which now became British colonies. With the expansion of the British Empire in South Africa, the sphere of the Roman-Dutch Law has extended its boundaries, until the whole of the area comprised within the Union of South Africa, representing the four former colonies of the Cape of Good Hope, Natal, the Transvaal, and the Orange River, as well as the country administered by the British South Africa Company tmder the name of Southern Rhodesia, has adopted this system as its common law. This is the more remarkable since in Holland itself and in the Dutch colonies of the present day, the old law has been replaced by modem codes; so that the statutes and text-books, which are still consulted and followed in the above-mentioned British dominions, in the land of their origin are no longer of practical interest. Though to indicate in general terms the nature of the Roman-Dutch Law is a matter of no great difficulty, precisely to define its extent in time or space is not so easy. Derived from the two sources of Germanic Custom and Roman Law, the Roman-Dutch Law may be said to have existed, so soon as the former of these incorporated elements derived from the latter. Undoubtedly such a process was at work from very early times. Long before the Corpus Juris of Justinian had been 'received' in Germany, the Codex Theodosianus (A.D. 438) had left its mark upon the tribal customs of the country now comprised within the limits of the kingdoms of Holland and Belgium. Later, the various influences of the Frankish Monarchy and Church and Canon Law forged fresh links between Rome and Germany. The general reception of the Roman Law into Germany and Holland in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries completed a process, which in various ways and through various channels had been at work for upwards of a thousand years. For many centuries after the dissolution of the Frankish Empire there was no general legislation. Under the rule for many centuries after the dissolution of the Frankish Empire there was no general legislation. Under the rule of the Counts of Holland the law of that province consisted principally in general and local customs supplemented to an uncertain degree by Roman Law. The numerous privileges (handvesten) wrung from the Counts by the growing power of the towns only tended to complicate the law by a multiplication of local anomalies. In such a state of things it is not surprising that men should have resorted to the Roman Law as to a system logical, coherent, and complete. Later, under Spanish rule, came an era of constructive legislation; but by that time the victory of the Roman Law was already assured….
