The Law Publisher CC monitors and reports South African court judgments of interest to commercial lawyers and business people. We believe that the business of doing business is like football: it is done better when the rules of the game are known and understood. And so we publish the law. The commercial law.

We are serenely ignorant of any other kind of law. We leave the disputes of politics, disappointed spouses and injured persons out of the range of our surveillance - we prefer to learn the lessons of the past in order to enhance the future, building on the accumulated experience of resolved commercial disputes. We avoid the bickering of the politicians, the incompatible spouses and the crippled. We know nothing of fraud, infidelity and negligence.

We think the common good is better served by fine-tuning the rules of commercial law rather than by arguing about who gets what slice of the cake and how much. Some think that "the government" carries the solution to their lot in life. Others think that big banks do. But history shows that both have a knack of getting themselves into a terrible mess. We, on the other hand, think that the solution lies within each person's own capability. Politicians and bankers may have made the future look hopeless, but they too, have to eat. They have to eat at the table of the astute, those who know the rules of the game, the money game. The commercial law.
