He means she. There being no difference in equality of the sexes under law as it
should be. Being a man I usually use the male persona in my books but it is
equally applicable on the tougher sex too.
Hounds from hell mean the debt collectors coming after you when you default
on your repayments. It is not meant to be derogative but descriptive only for the
way they keep on and on and on. It does not imply in any way that they are
indeed children of satan for they are only doing their job and a tough one it is
too.
I mean me, the author or his legal advisory JKLS Africa. Also referred to as "us
or we."
Judge also means a Magistrate. In other words the person who gives the verdict
in a trial.
Law of delict means an unlawful injury done to you which caused you harm for
which you want compensation. Breach of promise will be a delict under certain
circumstances.
Lawyer means practising attorneys and advocates and I use the word in the
general sense which includes both in the American sense of the word. The
author was one for 8 years.
Legal Advisor means a qualified lawyer or company legal advisor but not
necessarily a practising attorney or advocate. The author would qualify for this
title if he so chooses but prefers the term risk expert for his legal consultancy is
not only into law which is very boring for sane people.
Legal Justice has the same meaning as legal Justice taught at law faculties but
in this sense more practical. In other words not some obscure dream but
something practical for the client to correct the wrongs done to him.
Long haired liberals mean the liberals who took human rights to such
ridiculous lengths that lynch justice are now appearing. Not meant to be
derogatory. It is said affectionately. We need them to cause havoc now and then
or life may be boring. The authors' pet dislike in life.
