    1JUDGE JOHN HOLLAND AND THE VICE- ADMIRALTY COURT OF THE CAPE OF GOOD HOPE, 1797-1803: SOME INTRODUCTORY AND BIOGRAPHICAL NOTES (PART 1) JP van Niekerk* ABSTRACT A British Vice-Admiralty Court operated at the Cape of Good Hope from 1797 until 1803. It determined both Prize causes and (a few) Instance causes. This Court, headed by a single judge, should be distinguished from the ad hoc Piracy Court, comprised of seven members of which the Admiralty judge was one, which sat twice during this period, and also from the occasional naval courts martial which were called at the Cape. The Vice-Admiralty Court’s judge, John Holland, and its main officials and practitioners were sent out from Britain. Key words: Vice-Admiralty Court; Cape of Good Hope; First British Occupation of the Cape; jurisdiction; Piracy Court; naval courts martial; Judge John Holland; other officials, practitioners and support staff of the Vice-Admiralty Court * Professor, Department of Mercantile Law, School of Law, University of South Africa.

    UNIT-III/TRADE DOCUMENTATION/II B.A. ECONOMICS (EM) I. TRANSPORT DOCUMENTATION & ITS IMPORTANCE IN INTERNATIONAL TRADE Those exporters (or potential exporters) who are not fully familiarized with the nuances of international trade transactions may be unaware of the importance that transport documentation represents. To explain it, let’s start with the basics. In this sense, an analogy with post service is useful. Let’s think of the document as a person who is mailing a package. This person goes to the post office, and hands over the package. The postal worker looks at the package, and verifies its condition, ensuring that it is properly sealed and suitable for shipping. The postal worker then weighs it and measures it to determine the shipping cost. Once the shipping costs have been paid, the sender receives a receipt (an airway bill or print receipt) with the corresponding breakdown of what was paid for. This creates duties and responsibilities for the postal service, because they must now deliver the package to the correct location, and only to the person named as the recipient. Also, as specified on this receipt, the sender is to receive a notice that the package was received. The postal service retains a copy of the airway bill or receipt, which indicates the specific recipient to receive the package, with the right to receive the package, as designated by the sender. That package can only be delivered to the recipient, as indicated on the receipt. How does this example of sending a package from the post office relate to that of an international export transaction, where we are no longer talking about a single package but rather a full container of merchandise, with a declared value of several thousand dollars or more.
