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 the applicable statutory or other
provisions in a specific context. You are expected to identify precisely what information applies, and
then explain why you think so. 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. PLEASE DO NOT CUT AND PASTE ANSWERS FROM ANY SOURCE.
11. The arguments that you make must be logical, well-structured and substantiated by all of the
relevant legal principles. You are given 4 hours – to complete the take-home exam. Use the time
given wisely.
11.1 Ensure that you give reasons for each answer. Substantiate your answers by referring to ALL of the
relevant authorities, e.g. sections from relevant legislation and/or court cases in the text or in your
footnotes.
