On Wednesday 16 October professor Deeksha Bhana will give a guest lecture at Erasmus School of Law entitled “South African Contract Law and the Constitutional Goal of a Substantively Equal Society.” Her lecture will be of interest to researchers and students interested in the interaction between public interests and private law.
Deeksha Bhana is a Professor of Law and the Assistant Dean of Postgraduate Affairs at the Faculty of Commerce, Law and Management, University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, South Africa. She currently teaches, researches and supervises (both at undergraduate and postgraduate level) in the field of contract law. She has published widely on various aspects of contract law and has particular expertise on the interface between public and private law in South Africa. Her work engages in depth with the effect of the Constitution on private contractual doctrine, from within the discipline of contract law itself. It focuses on how constitutional (public-law type) justice can be done in private law without overthrowing and rendering unworkable the entire intricate system of contract law, while also fundamentally challenging conventional private law thinking.
Professor Bhana’s lecture is hosted by the INFAR project, a collaboration between Erasmus School of Law and the International Institute of Social Studies.
