Dear Student

Welcome to the module CCDL311. This module is only offered in the first semester of the academic year and is a mandatory module for the diploma in management of co-operatives. CCDL 311has no prerequisites and is a stand-alone module.  This module, offered in the 3rd year of the Diploma in the Management of Cooperatives Course deals with contracts, sales, leases, suretyship, agency, aspects of employment and credit agreements. It is one of the major components of the core curriculum for the Diploma in the Management of Cooperatives. This module will also lay the groundwork for further studies in business/commercial law should a student wish to study further. Various aspects of commercial law will be studied with particular emphasis on topics that have direct relevance to the establishment and continued existence of cooperatives.

This course introduces you to the exciting world of commercial law and widens your legal, intellectual and theoretical horizons. In this module, you are introduced to the law that governs and defines commercial law issues such as:

Ø  The basic aspects of general South African law;

Ø  Selected aspects of cooperatives in terms of the Cooperatives Act 14 of 2005;

Ø  General principles of contract and breach of contract;

Ø  Specific contracts such as sales and leases;

Ø  The law of agency;

Ø  The Law of security with reference to suretyship;

Ø  The legal relationship of the bank and customer relationship;

Ø  Aspects of consumer credit law;

Ø  Recent case law and legislative developments in the above fields.

 

From a teaching/leaning perspective, this course will afford you the chance to develop your potential through participating in class discussions and individual assessments, in the form of assignments and tests which shall be reflectively evaluated. In this vein therefore, the teaching methods shall be interactive rather than lecturer-focused. Active participation in class and problem solving shall accordingly be rewarded. The guiding principle/philosophy in this course is that there is no right or wrong answer but rather potential answers which are subject to scrutiny and further qualification. In the majority of instances, we will strive to make our teaching methodology as interactive and reflective as possible.

In order to successfully complete this course, it is therefore assumed that students should:

·       Be capable of communicating competently in written and spoken English;

·       Be able to work/study independently by reading, extracting and analysing relevant information from various sources;

·       Access resources, especially the library and electronic resources;

·       Follow appropriate legal referencing conventions in written work.

In the event of a student not writing an assessment or submitting an assignment on a specific date, a student must submit a doctor’s letter or death notice which will be considered in affording the student an alternative test or form of assessment.   

Best of luck with your studies!

1. DEFINITION OF TERMS

COURSE OUTLINE/SCHEME OF WORK/MODULE OUTLINE: Course/Module outline/Schemes of work represent a contract between the lecturer and student stipulating the requirements for each course: its aims, learning outcomes, course requirements and assessment.

LEARNER/STUDY GUIDE: A learner/study guide helps in organising lecture notes and textbook material so that students can increase their comprehension and memory of large amounts of information. Specific outcomes on topics covered, the summary of content, as well as revision questions are included.

TUTORIAL: A tutorial is an interactive method of transferring knowledge in the learning process. A tutorial seeks to teach by example and supply the information to complete a certain task.

PRACTICAL: A practical is a lesson in which theories and procedures learned are applied to the actual making or doing of something.

FORMATIVE ASSESSMENT: The goal of formative assessment is develop and monitor student learning to provide ongoing feedback that can be used by lecturers to improve their teaching and by students to improve their learning.

SUMMATIVE ASSESSMENT: The goal of summative assessment is to evaluate student learning at the end of an instructional unit by comparing it against some standard or benchmark.

GENERIC OUTCOMES: These are critical cross-field outcomes that inform all teaching and learning as stipulated by SAQA Regulations. 

Each module should enable students to:

·       work effectively as individuals and with others as members of a team;

·       organise and manage themselves and their activities responsibly and effectively;

·       identify and solve problems and make decisions using critical and creative thinking;

·       collect, analyse, organise and critically evaluate information;

·       communicate effectively using visual, symbolic and/or language skills in various modes;

·       use science and technology effectively and critically showing responsibility towards the environment and the health of others; and

·       Demonstrate an understanding of the world as a set of related systems by recognising that problem solving contexts do not exist in isolation.

SPECIFIC/MODULE OUTCOMES: Learning outcomes are statements of what students will learn in a lecture. Each lecture has its specific outcomes. The statements are focused on student learning.

 

2.       MODULE PURPOSE

Legal training, which is steeped in a long tradition of liberalism, develops skills in the mastering of facts and theory as well as in lucid and logical expression. A successful learner will acquire these qualities and discover them to be greatly to his/her advantage in his/her leadership role in society. The study of Commercial Law for Cooperatives will equip the learner with legal knowledge necessary for giving basic advice in simple and complex legal matters in pursuit of a client’s specific mandate. However, the services of an expert/professional lawyer will still be required since the learner in this context will not be training to become a lawyer. The module will also expose the learner to some of the legal and policy rationales behind the regulation of cooperatives and clearly show how some aspects of commercial law impact on the establishment and demise of cooperatives. For some or all of the above reasons therefore, the study of Commercial Law for Cooperatives has become an indispensable aspect of the training of students studying the management of cooperatives.

 

This module is designed to prepare cooperative students, practitioners and advisers who may be frequently called upon to provide legal or policy advice/support or manage matters relating to commercial transactions impacting on cooperatives. Accordingly, it will aim to provide learners with sound knowledge of the content, interpretation and practical implications commercial law relating to cooperatives. It will also provide exposure to the policy concerns and rationales driving statutory regulation in this field of endeavour. The purpose of the course may be summed up as follows:

  • To equip students with a basic understanding of the legal concepts and principles of the general law applicable to South Africa;
  • To guide students in critically exploring the law pertaining to cooperatives through the aid of case law and other legal authority such as statutes;
  • To guide students through an exploration of the law as it relates to contracts, sales, leases, security and credit agreements;
  • To enable students to apply the general legal principles to real life problems (extracted from everyday occurrences and case law) involving the application, interpretation and enforcement of rights and obligations arising out of general commercial law;
  • To enable students to see the specific instances when commercial law interacts with cooperative principles in relevant contexts; and
  • To deepen the students’ understanding of the purpose and social effects of commercial law in a changing socio-political and economic context of a new South Africa.

 

 

3.       GENERIC OUTCOMES

 

It is intended that students will be able to:

·       organise and manage themselves effectively;

·       collect, understand and analyse information from various sources of law, in addition to information conveyed in the lecture room;

·       identify and solve problems;

·       communicate effectively, both in class and through written work;

·       Develop independent research skills, including the use of technology for legal research.

 

 

4.       SPECIFIC OUTCOMES

 

Outcomes:          By the end of the course you ought to have gained the following:

 

Knowledge:

 

·       Of the importance, purpose, function and impact of commercial law;

 

·       Of the sources of the law relating to commercial law and how the law and statutes  interact in this regard;

 

·       Of the legal terminology associated with commercial law;

 

·       Of the principles of commercial law that have evolved in our statutory and case law;

 

·       Of the significance of commercial law in everyday individual and business existence in the Republic of South Africa with specific reference to cooperatives.

 

Skills:

·       The ability to engage with, manage and reflect critically on the relatively challenging amount of course material acquired in such a short time;

 

·       The ability to analyze and apply the principles of commercial law to practical problems;

 

·       The ability to communicate the legal position on a particular aspect of commercial law, as well as the independent thinking thereon in written and oral mode;

 

·       The ability to read and understand legislation and court decisions and to apply the principles to practical problems relating to cooperatives.

 

Values:

·       An appreciation of the impact and validity of the principles of commercial law in daily commercial practice;

 

·       An appreciation of the need for the evaluation of commercial law so as to keep it up to date with the needs of the South African community that it serves; and

 

·       An appreciation of academic integrity in acknowledging sources in research.

 

 

APPROACH TO THE COURSE:

It is important to realise from the outset that there is absolutely no legitimate reason why anybody should fail Commercial Law for Cooperatives.  Of course, like anything else, time and effort must be devoted to the subject to succeed.  The content is not difficult but the volume of work can cause difficulty if one's approach is not organized and conscientious.

 

Right from the outset it is important to assess your strengths and weaknesses and develop strategies to overcome your weak points (if any).  If for example you find it difficult to remember facts, develop memory cues and spend time summarizing.

 

On the other hand, if communicating your arguments on paper is a problem, practice writing out problem questions dealt with in this course.

 

                              Being able to memorize facts is one thing, but being possessed of such factual knowledge is of little use unless one can apply such facts to real life situations.  A suggested approach to problem type questions would be the following:

·       Read and understand the problem;

·       Identify the applicable law, that is, what principles of law is the question trying to test;

·       State the law;

·       Apply the law; and

·       State your conclusion to the problem.

 

Students would be well advised to do as many problem/application questions as possible and build up a bank of “precedent” answers.  Practice makes perfect! In any event, students will be expected to prepare questions from time to time and be in a position to discuss them either in class or in groups.

 

This course places significant importance on case and statutory law. Legal advisors need to be able to interpret and apply case law to factual situations. In many instances you will only be expected to cite cases for illustrative purposes, however, you must make case notes on all prescribed cases.

 

 


 

It is the responsibility of each learner to:

 

  1. Attend classes, write tests and examinations;
  2. Participate in class and make a meaningful contribution to the attainment of group learning goals;
  3. Participate in role playing and contribute to the attainment of group learning goals;
  4. Write take home assignments which are well structured;
  5.  Participate in students’ evaluation of the lecturer and the module;
  6. Meet deadlines for submitting work; and
  7. Adhere to given guidelines.

 

 Roles and responsibilities of the Lecturer

 

It is the responsibility of lecturer- in- charge to:

 

(i)              Design and specify the number and type of assessment tasks and their weightings;

 

(ii)             Prepare the module outline in accordance with procedures;

 

(iii)            To take the compulsory attendance register;

 

(iv)           Maintain and collate records of attendance;

 

(v)            Provide feedback on each of the given assignments.

 

 

A note on Class Attendance

 

Subject to such additional requirement(s) as may be set out in the General Rules, a learner shall only be entitled to write the final examination in a module if s/he has obtained:

 

1        100% attendance at lectures, unless the learner was absent with leave of absence obtained prior to the date of the lecture(s) from which the learner was absent;

2        100% participation in mandatory tests and assignments;

3        Leave of absence shall only be granted to learners in exceptional circumstances.

6.       NOTIONAL HOURS

CCDL311 will be lectured once a week during a three hour lecture slot. Lecturers will be on a Tuesday as from 13h30-16h30.

 

In addition to the national hours allocated in terms of the timetable, students are expected to spend additional learning hours that are used for the learning activities and assessment of the module such as lectures, tutorials, practicals, presentations, independent study etc. 

 

 

7.       CONSULTATION TIMES

Difficulties experienced in respect of this module or queries relating to assessments/assignments may be discussed with me during scheduled consulting hours. In case of an emergency I may be contacted at 035-9026335.

 

8.       MODE OF DELIVERY

 

The course is taught by MRS L Ramaccio Calvino. It has been divided into specific topics which will be covered in the form of viva voce lectures. These lectures will comprise of a discussion of the law as contained in textbooks and legislation.

 

Students are expected to read ahead of the next lecture so that they may participate in the lecture and solve legal problems either individually or in groups. There is no comprehensive handout for the course and as such, students will be expected to take their own notes during lectures and to supplement these notes with readings provided in the course outline. It is expected that students assume responsibility for their own learning by independent study according to the guidance provided by the detailed course outline. Feedback for assignments and tests will be given during class.

 

9.       ASSESSMENT PROCEDURES

It is the responsibility of the student to ensure that he/she is registered for the correct module prior to the date of the first assessment. Only registered students’ scripts will be marked and the mark captured.

Students will be assessed by way of formative and substantive assessments.

The final examination will count towards the other 50% of the final module mark.

A student that obtains a mark of 40-49% should be entitled to a re-assessment examination. It is the student’s responsibility to ascertain from administration whether he/she qualifies for a re-assessment examination. Students that did not write the final examination due to a death in the family or illness need to apply at administration to write an aegrotat examination. The re-assessment and aegrotat examinations will be written shortly after the conclusion of the examination period for that academic year. Students that do not write the aforesaid examination will forfeit the opportunity to re-assess the module.

All assignments must be done by using Arial as a font, 12 point font, 1.5 line spacing. Sizes of pages and margins can be communicated to the student by the lecturer. Use the university approved assignment cover page. A copy of the assignment cover sheet is annexed hereto as Annexure “A”.

STUDYING AIDS

In studying this course you should also focus upon the learning objectives specified at the commencement of each module in the study book. They form the basis for your readings and revision of each topic.

Examination techniques


The formal examination requires you to demonstrate your learning to the lecturer. If you have followed these suggestions about studying, you will be well on your way to success. Here are a few additional points to help you with your exams.

Preparing for examinations

It is a good idea to begin revising the semesters materials at least two or three weeks before the examination. That way, you have time to put in a bit of extra effort on areas you are not quite certain of. Here are some extra points to help you.

·       Revise your notes.

Go over the notes you have made for yourself during your study. Make sure that you see the relationship between the key points that you have written down, and the related details.

·       Get together.

If possible, get together with others studying the same course. Discuss each point. Quiz each other.

·       Review past examination papers.

You can use same as a trial run to get an idea of working within a strict time limit. Past examination papers may give you an idea of the kind of questions that might be asked. But dont place too much emphasis on them as lecturer can ask different styles of questions.

·       Review assignments.

Go over previous assessments / assignments. If you didnt do well, look at the lecturers comments/feedback to find out where you went wrong.

·       Get to bed in good time.

Dont stay up revising all of the night before the exam. Get a good nights sleep so that you are alert and at your best. And dont skimp on meals before the exam. Mental exertion is just as dependent on a healthy body as is physical exertion.

·       Confirm examination mode.

Come prepared with all necessary equipment.

·       Be committed.

Try to build your study plan around fixed time commitments the time that you must give to your essential daily activities such as family, eating and sleeping, recreation and leisure.

·       Be realistic

Try to be realistic in planning your study time. You will probably have to give up some of the things you do to make time for study. On the other hand, most people need recreation, and find it easier to stick to a schedule if they specifically include time for sport, leisure, or other relaxation.

·       Study every day

Study is easier if you spread the work out, rather than trying to cram it all into one or two days. Also, research has shown that you learn better and remember more if you spread out your studying.

·       Your concentration span

 Most people find that it is difficult to concentrate for long periods. If you must study for a long period of time, be sure to take a break every hour for a few minutes.

·       Your study timetable

Find out what time of day you study best. Some people are most alert early in the morning, some in the afternoon and others late at night. For example, if you are a morning person, try to schedule an hour or two of study in the early morning before you go to work, or before the rest of the family is out of bed.

·       Set realistic goals

But set goals! Before you begin a study period, decide what it is you intend to accomplish. It may be to summarise one chapter, to write two pages of an essay. And give yourself a pat on the back when you have completed your assigned task.

·       Set good habits

Get in the habit of beginning work as soon as you sit at your study table. Do not use part of your study time for other things, such as straightening your room or alphabetising your books.

·       Review your work

At the end of each study period, review the work that you have done, and if necessary modify your study plan. At the end of each week, plan your timetable for the week ahead.

·       Study Strategies

Studying refers to all that you do in order to learn something. Here are some suggestions to help you study effectively.

·       Be active

Be actively involved with the things that you are trying to learn. For example, write key points in your own words. Try to relate your study to your own experience, whether it be at home, or elsewhere.

·       Avoid compartmentalisation

Try to see the relationships among different modules in a course, and different courses in your program. The more you seek for and find connections among the things that you study, the more sense they will make and the easier they will be to remember.

·        Use memory aids: List the major points in each module of a study book or chapter of a textbook. These major points form the framework of the course. If you understand the framework, you will find it easier to remember the details. Some students write important points on cards and go through them from time to time. Others write a detailed outline and pin it up on a wall by their study table. Such visible reminders are a simple and efficient way to help you memorise basic facts.

o   Form study groups: Form a study group with other students. Ask for help or to get a fresh point of view. You will find that trying to explain something to another person is one of the very best ways to learn it yourself.

 

In your examination


·       Time planning

Just as you plan how you will use your weekly study time, so too should you plan your time in the examination. Here are some guidelines on how to use your time effectively in your examination.

·        Try to leave yourself sufficient time at the end of the examination to check over your work and make any last-minute corrections.

·        If all questions have equal weight, plan to take about the same amount of time with each one. If the questions have unequal weighting, spend more time on those questions with many marks, and less time on the ones with fewer marks.

·        In multiple choice questions, dont spend too much time on questions you cant answer easily or quickly. Go ahead and answer the others first, leaving yourself sufficient time to return to those that you are unsure of.

Hints on answering questions

·        Write legibly. Even with the best will in the world, a marker cannot give you credit if the writing cannot be read.

·        In answering essay questions, make certain that your essay is well organised and grammatically correct. It will pay dividends to spend a few minutes planning your essay before you begin writing.

·        Make sure that you answer the question asked. Underline the key words in the question, and underline the verb. This will help you to focus on the essence of the question.
