"And as imagination bodies forth
The forms of things unknown, the poet's pen
Turns them to shapes and gives to airy nothing
A local habitation and a name"
(William Shakespeare from A Midsummer Night's Dream)

With the wise words of Shakespeare in mind, the editorial board of De Jure has pleasure in presenting the first volume of 2017. This volume paves the way for valuable discussions by a variety of academics on a wide variety of topics. Interesting discussions are provided for pertaining to amongst others issues relating to class action proceedings, ancillary customary marriages and matters relating to property rights 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 welcome Daniel Du Plessis who has been appointed to assist with the editorial process of De Jure as well as express our gratitude 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.
