Erasmus Superior Court Practice has over the past 50 years (since the release of its predecessor, Nathan, Barnett and Brink Uniform Rules of Court) established itself as the leading and most indispensable authority in its field.

The Superior Courts Act 10 of 2013 and the Constitution Seventeenth Amendment Act brought profound change to the field of civil practice in the Superior Courts. The second edition of this acclaimed work comprises unrivalled clause-by-clause commentary on the new Superior Courts Act as well as the Constitutional Court, Supreme Court of Appeal and Uniform Court Rules, and interprets provisions with reference to judgments in which they have been considered. It also features extensive discussions of important related subjects.

Erasmus Superior Court Practice is updated bi-annually to incorporate all changes arising from statutory amendments, as well as judgments handed down by the Superior Courts.
