Editorial/Redaksioneel

“[The law] is a jealous mistress, and requires a long and constant courtship. It

is not to be won by favors, but by lavish homage”

(Joseph Story 1779-1845)

The editorial board of De Jure has pleasure in presenting the first volume

of 2018. As always the authors have excelled in providing valuable

discussions on a wide variety of topics which inadvertently opens the

door for academic debate. Interesting discussions are provided for

pertaining to amongst others aspects relating to tax administration

within the ambit of fulfilling human rights, debt capitalisation,

discrimination within the realm of insurance with reference to persons

with disabilities, aspects relating to therapeutic jurisprudence and

restorative justice, interesting discussions pertaining to the extent to

which the nursing profession is informed about the law and their

responsibilities within the health care profession to mention but a few as

well as interesting case discussions dealing with a wide variety of topics.

The De Jure team wish to thank all contributors as well as reviewers to

this volume for their efforts and contributions to this volume.

The editorial committee would like to express our gratitude to our

assistant Daniël Du Plessis for his diligent assistance during the

production of this volume. We would also like to express our gratitude to

the team of Pretoria University Law Press (PULP), and especially Lizette

Hermann, for making this volume a reality.
