Historical precedents form the basis of Case Law

With in excess of 25% of all cases referring to precedents set before 1947, there is no doubt that access to All South African Law Reports is essential for every legal practitioner. Your law library may be well established and give you access to a wide range of law reports. But the complexities of referencing cases, particularly those prior to 1909, is such that researching these cases is neither simple nor time efficient.

Transform your research methodology

Printed law reports prior to 1946 are often convoluted, lacking standardised references even omitting the year and the court, with confusing abbreviations, making them difficult to research. At last, LexisNexis Butterworths gives you a searchable database of all Provincial and Appeal Court Law Reports from 1828-1946. All South African Law Reports 1828 to 1946 makes it easier than ever to conduct research quickly and accurately. This information is now instantly available online in a thoroughly cross-referenced, user-friendly searchable format.

Comprehensive cross - references

The sophisticated indexing system offers you the choice of searching by subject, via an alphabetical, cumulative index or by the court in which the statutes were judicially considered. All reports are cross-referenced to related cases. This cross-referencing is not limited to cases between 1828 and 1947, but also includes cross-referencing from the Butterworths Index and Noter up to the All South African and South African Law Reports from 1947 to 2004 as well as Law of South Africa and other key LexisNexis Butterworths legal titles.
