Perspectives on the Law of Partnership in South Africa examines the most problematic issues in the law of partnership. It investigates specific issues in the area of partnership law, painting a broader picture of all the other relevant areas involved. In following a ‘perspectives’ approach – presenting a historical and a comparative perspective – the book offers a detailed consideration of complex areas of partnership law while at the same time exploring the law in general.

Topics discussed range from the history and development of partnership law to perennial classical favourites such as the leonine partnership, the triple contract and universal partnership proper, all three of which contributed to the delineation of the partnership concept.
