Hardcover, 477 pages

The purpose of pleadings is to define the issues for the other party and the trial court and for any court of appeal. The duty of those courts is to adjudicate upon the disputes and those disputes alone.

Featuring well-crafted sample pleadings which provide clarity to complex litigation matters, the work emphasises the essential allegations for various causes of action and defences and the incidence of the burden of proof. Defences are analysed and discussed, with authorities cited after each proposition. Concise explanatory notes are included which set out the law as applied by - and developed in The courts.

Dive into insightful analysis and discussion of defences, supported by authoritative references for each proposition. Clear notes demystify the evolving court precedents and legal principles.

If you're a litigator seeking a competitive edge, Amler's is an indispensable tool in your arsenal. Simplify your drafting tasks and enhance your pleadings with this must-have resource.

In the Tenth edition, the authors have a greater awareness of the Constitution and the jurisprudential work of the Constitutional Court and the Supreme Court of Appeal. A further important aspect is that the authors reassessed and identified the practical impact of constitutional principles on certain common-law principles.
