For any university to have survived for a century is nothing new in Europe or in North Africa, but in Sub-Saharan Africa it is a very impressive feat.

<b>Die invloed van skolastiek en protestantisme op Ulrich Huber se standpunte oor konstitusionalisme en tirannie</b>
<br>Ulrich Huber (1636-1694) se bydrae tot die publiekreg het &apos;n aanvang met sy lesings oor die algemene beginsels van die konstitusionele reg te Franeker geneem. Die vrug van sy werk het in sy <I>De Jure Civitatis&lt;/I&gt; neerslag gevind. Die tydperk waarin Huber hierdie werk geproduseer het, is in die algemeen deur die opkoms van die rasionalisme en die verligting in die regsgeleerdheid van Nederland gekenmerk. Meer spesifiek toon Huber se werk die invloed van die oorgang vanaf verligte absolutisme na demokratiese regering, gebaseer op die wil van die onderdane. Huber se siening van populêre soewereiniteit het in sy standpunte oor beperkte regering en verset teen tirannie neerslag gevind. &apos;n Studie van die Latynse teks van Huber se pionierswerk in Latyn, bring waardevolle perspektiewe oor hierdie tendense in die oorgang van die Nederlandse jurisprudensie vanaf die skolastiek na die verligtingsdenke aan die lig.
Ulrich Huber&apos;s (1636-1694) contribution to public law was initiated with his lectures on the general principles of constitutional law at Franeker. The fruits of his work culminated in his <I>De Jure Civitatis</I>. The era in which Huber produced this work was generally characterized by the emergence of rationalism and enlightenment in Dutch jurisprudence. More specifically Huber&apos;s work reflects the influence of the transition from enlightened absolutism to democratic government based on the will of the subjects. His views on popular sovereignty culminated in Huber&apos;s theory of limited government and resistance to tyranny. A study of the Latin text of Huber&apos;s pioneering work reveals valuable perspectives on these trends in the transition of Dutch jurisprudence from scholasticism to enlightenment.

<b>Professional responsibility of auditors towards third parties on the grounds of negligence</b>
<br>People in the professional occupations such as auditors, lawyers, architects and engineers have a duty to treat their clients with solicitude. This duty arises from the nature of their calling and from the professional service that they offer their clients. This has led to the situation where members of the professions have increasingly been held responsible for damage suffered by third parties as a result of the neglect of their professionally inherent obligation of solicitude. Fraud scandals, such as those of Enron in the USA and Masterbond, PSC Guaranteed Growth and Tigon locally, have once again caused the focus to fall upon the professional responsibility of auditors.The question that is increasingly being asked is: when and under what circumstances will an auditor be held responsible towards a third party in his professional capacity for the negligent performance of his duties? For the purposes of this article, the focus will only be placed on the responsibility of the auditor on the grounds of his duty to report in terms of section 300 of the <I>Companies Act</I>. The distinctive rules and also the specific application of the general principles of delict in such cases are discussed in this article.
Persone in professionele beroepe soos ouditeure, prokureurs, argitekte en ingenieurs is &apos;n sorgsaamheidsplig teenoor hul kliënte verskuldig. Hierdie plig spruit uit die aard van hul beroep en die professionele diens wat hul aan die kliënt lewer. Dit het tot gevolg dat lede van professies toenemend aanspreeklik gehou word vir skade deur derdes gely weens die verbreking van hul professionele inherente sorgsaamheidsplig. Bedrogskandale soos die van Enron in die Verenigde State van Amerika en Masterbond, PSC Guaranteed Growth en Tigon plaaslik, het veral opnuut die fokus geplaas op die professionele aanspreeklikheid van ouditeure. Die vraag wat al hoe meer gevra word is: Wanneer en onder watter omstandighede sal &apos;n ouditeur weens sy professionele hoedanigheid aanspreeklik gehou word teenoor &apos;n derde party vir die nalatige verrigting van sy pligte? Vir die doeleindes van hierdie artikel word daar slegs gefokus op die aanspreeklikheid van die ouditeur op grond van sy verslagleweringsplig ingevolge artikel 300 van die <I>Maatskappywet</I>. Die eiesoortige reëls en ook die besondere toepassing van die algemene deliksbeginsels in sodanige geval word in die artikel bespreek.
Regsverteenwoordiging tydens dissiplinêre optredes en arbitrasies - &apos;n kort oorsig oor die huidige regsposisie
Journal for Juridical Science 29, pp 109 –122 (2004)
<b>Legal representation during disciplinary inquiries and arbitrations - a brief overview</b>
<br>With the recent amendments to the <I>Labour Relations Act&lt;/I&gt; 66 of 1995 the question of legal representation was raised again. This article deals with the current legal position and explains the advantages and disadvantages of legal representation during disciplinary action and arbitrations. In conclusion legal representation should always be an option for any party during any disciplinary action. The presiding officer should, however, have a discretion not to allow legal representation if circumstances allow it. Legal representation will definitely enhance and promote just and fair dispute resolution and disciplinary action. Legal practitioners can play a meaningful role in maintaining good labour relations and ensuring fairness between the employer and employee. There is little justification for summarily excluding legal representation.
Met die onlangse wysigings in die <I>Wet op Arbeidsverhoudinge&lt;/I&gt; 66 van 1995 het die vraag na regsverteenwoordiging weer sterk na vore getree. In die artikel word die huidige regsposisie uiteengesit. Die voordele en nadele van regsverteenwoordiging tydens dissiplinêre optrede en arbitrasies word bespreek en opgeweeg. Gevolglik behoort regsverteenwoordiging altyd &apos;n opsie in enige dissiplinêre verrigting te wees. Regsverteenwoordiging sal beslis bevorderlik wees vir billike en regverdige geskilbeslegting en dissiplinêre optrede. Regspraktisyns kan &apos;n sinvolle rol speel om goeie arbeidsverhoudinge in die werksplek te handhaaf en billikheid teenoor beide die werkgewer en werknemer te laat geskied. Daar is te min gronde om regsverteenwoordiging summier uit te sluit. Daar behoort &apos;n diskresie aan elke voorsittende beampte in dissiplinêre ondersoeke en eksterne kommissarisse te wees om regsverteenwoordiging uit te sluit indien die omstandighede dit vereis en dat elke party outomaties die reg het om deur &apos;n regspraktisyn verteenwoordig te word.
