The assessment of damages for delict in South African and German Law, with special regard to loss of use and fraudulent misrepresentation inducing a contract

Master Thesis

1998

Abstract

This thesis deals with the question of how the existence and extent of damage, as well as well the proper amount of damages, · are to be determined in the case of delict. To answer this question most legal systems have developed different rules and principles which do work satisfactorily in most cases. There are, however, certain cases in which the basic principles do not lead to satisfying results. In these cases courts often have a problem establishing their, decision, as neither basic legal principles nor legal theory are able to provide a satisfying solution.
