This paper consists of 5 pages
CONFIDENTIAL
PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY BEFORE
ANSWERING THE EXAMINATION QUESTIONS.
1. The examination question paper counts 100 marks.
2. It consists of 2 questions. Question 1 totals 70 marks. Question 2 totals 30 marks. Answer
ALL of the questions.
3. The duration of the examination is 4 hours. Your answers must be submitted via the
myExams platform on 23 May 2022 on or before 12h00 (South African Standard Time).
4. This is an open-book examination. You may consult your prescribed study material during
the examination. While the examination is in progress, you are not allowed to consult another
person to assist you to answer any of the questions contained in this question paper. While
the examination is in progress, you may not assist another student in answering any of the
questions contained in this question paper. When answering the take-home exam questions,
remember that an open-book exam is a test at a higher level than the usual type of exam,
where memory is tested as much as insight. In an open-book exam, you need not memorise
any information. You are expected to prove that you can use information, rather than merely
repeat it. In brief, what is being tested is factual knowledge, understanding and the correct
application thereof, not memory skills. For this reason, you do not earn marks by merely
detailing a list of all the information that you think might be relevant to a particular question.
This gives no indication that you know what statutory or other provisions are applicable in a
specific context. You are expected to identify precisely what information applies, and then
explain why you think so.
4.1 Also, because you have the guide available when answering questions, we do not give marks
for direct quotations from the guide. You are therefore assessed on your level of
understanding of the legal principles by looking at how well you applied the principles to the
questions.
4.2 PLEASE DO NOT CUT AND PASTE ANSWERS FROM THE STUDY GUIDE (OR ANY
OTHER SOURCE).
