How to use this volume
Solve the paper first, under exam conditions and against the clock. Then read the answers here and mark your own. Reading a solution before attempting the question feels productive and teaches very little, because recognising an answer is not the same as being able to write one.
1.
Answer in 2-3 sentences each of the following
all · 20 Marks
(a)Explain the term sententia legis.[2]
Answer
Sententia legis means the sense or spirit of the law, that is, the true intention behind an enactment, as distinct from litera legis, the letter of the law, which is the words in which it is expressed. The intention of the legislature is made up of both, and the duty of a court is to give effect to the spirit through the letter.
