Die derde Young Property Lawyers Forum (YPLF) word aangebied deur die Suid-Afrikaanse Navorsingsleerstoel in Sakereg (gesetel by die Universiteit Stellenbosch) van Sondag, 28 Oktober, tot Dinsdag, 30 Oktober by die Stellenbosse Instituut vir Gevorderde Navorsing (STIAS). Die YPLF is ŉ inisiatief wat op die been gebring is deur jong sakeregsgeleerdes aan die Ius Commune universiteite (Amsterdam, Utrecht, Maastricht, Leuven, Edinburgh en Stellenbosch). Die eerste Forum het in Mei 2009 plaasgevind te Edinburg Universiteit, terwyl die tweede een in Mei 2011 aan die Universiteit Maastricht gehou is. Sedert 2011 word die referate wat by die YPLF gelewer word gepubliseer in ŉ boek genaamd Property Law Perspectives. Die hoofdoel van die YPLF is om ŉ platform te bied waar jong navorsers aanbiedings kan doen oor hul navorsing, om insette van ander jong- asook gevestigde regsakademici te ontvang en deel te neem aan die internasionale netwerk van jong sakereggeleerdes.
Die rede waarom die YPLF vanjaar deur die Suid-Afrikaanse Navorsingsleerstoel in Sakereg aangebied word, is omdat die Navorsingsleerstoel in 2012 sy 5de bestaansjaar vier. Die doel van die Navorsingsleerstoel is om die Suid-Afrikaanse sakereg te help transformeer deur ŉ nuwe teoretiese denkraamwerk vir Sakereg te ontwikkel wat die waardes van die post-apartheid, konstitusionele era weerspieël. Hierdie doelwit stem ooreen met dié van die YPLF, naamlik die ontwikkeling van sakereg.
Die jong sakeregsgeleerdes wat die YPLF bywoon is almal mense wat tans besig is met ŉ meesters- of doktorsgraad in Sakereg, of wat gedurende die afgelope 5 jaar ŉ soortgelyke graad in hierdie regsveld ontvang het. Die 2012-verrigtinge word bygewoon deur 50 jong sakeregsgeleerdes uit Suid-Afrika, die Verenigde Koninkryk, die VSA, Nederland, België, Duitsland, Italië en Israel. Dit word ook bygewoon deur 18 senior sakeregsgeleerdes van Suid-Afrika, die VSA, die Verenigde Koninkryk, Nederland, België, Pole en Australië.
Die 2012 is werklik besonders, aangesien dit die eerste keer is dat die Forum buite Europa plaasvind en dit is ook die eerste keer dat so ŉ groot groep jong sakeregsgeleerdes byeenkom om oor hul werk aanbiedings te doen.
The third Young Property Lawyers Forum (YPLF) is hosted by the South African Research Chair in Property Law (SARCPL) (situated at Stellenbosch University), from Sunday 28th until Tuesday 30th October 2012 at the Stellenbosch Institute for Advanced Study (STIAS). The YPLF is an initiative of young property researchers from the Ius Commune universities (Amsterdam, Utrecht, Maastricht, Leuven, Edinburgh and Stellenbosch). The first forum was held in 2010 at Edinburgh University and the second in 2011 at Maastricht University. Since 2011 the proceedings of these meetings have been published as Property Law Perspectives. The main purpose of the YPLF is to provide an opportunity for young researchers to present their research, as well as to receive comments from peers and experts in the field of property law and to engage with the international network of young property scholars.
The reason for holding the third YPLF at SARCPL is that the Research Chair celebrates its 5th anniversary in 2012. The main aim of the Research Chair is to transform South African property law by developing a new theoretical paradigm for property law that reflects the values of the post-apartheid, constitutional era. This is in line with the broader vision of the YPLF, which is to develop property law.
The young property lawyers attending the event are all young people currently doing masters’ or doctoral research in property law, or persons who obtained one of these degrees in this field of law in the past 5 years. The 2012 proceedings will be attended by 50 young property law researchers from South Africa, the United Kingdom, the United States, the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, Italy and Israel. It will also be attended by 18 senior property law scholars from South Africa, the United States, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, Belgium, Poland and Australia.
The 2012 YPLF is truly remarkable, as it is the first time that the YPLF takes place outside of Europe and it is also the first time that such a large number of young property law scholars will be attending one event.
