Sectional Titles and other fragmented property schemes
09 Mar 2020
About this publication
Sectional Titles and Other Fragmented Property Schemes aims to describe the different forms of urban fragmented property schemes introduced by legislation. Therefore, the functioning of the management bodies of such schemes and the nature and effect of management and conduct rules are emphasised to indicate to what extent the idea of urban fragmented property holding has changed the property concept in the new constitutional dispensation in South Africa.
Relevant case law, new legislative developments, especially the amended Sectional Titles Act 95 of 1986, the Sectional Titles Schemes Management Act 8 of 2011, the Community Schemes Ombud Service Act 9 of 2011 and the Companies Act 71 of 2008, are discussed comprehensively to indicate how fragmented property schemes are governed and how disputes regarding use rights of individual sections and the common property of such schemes are solved.
This edition provides invaluable theoretical and practical information on the nature, registration and management of the different fragmented property schemes. These include sectional titles, share blocks, time-sharing, retirement schemes and homeowners’ associations. A new section on homeowners’ associations has been added.
Juta’s Property Law Library is aimed at revisiting and reassessing the whole of South African property law, which includes uncodified common law that is mostly embodied in case law, academic writing and legislation, to establish:
- how each aspect of property law was influenced by apartheid law;
- its response to the new constitutional dispensation (including land reform), and;
- whether it can make a contribution towards the transformation of South African law and society.
For this purpose, Juta’s Property Law Library will eventually consist of a number of monographs, each of which is focused on a specific aspect of property law.
