The codification of South African law refers to the process of consolidating and systematizing legal principles and statutes into a coherent framework. This process aims to create a unified legal code that simplifies access to laws and enhances legal certainty. While South Africa operates under a mixed legal system influenced by Roman-Dutch law and English common law, certain areas, such as the laws governing contracts and property, have been codified. Efforts towards complete codification are ongoing, addressing the complexities of a diverse legal landscape.
