Policy Considerations:
Equality and fairness: South African law (s 7(3)) provides a mechanism for
redistribution of assets based on contributions during the marriage.
Certainty and predictability: Applying South African law ensures a clear and
predictable outcome for John's claim.
Proper law of the marriage: Initially, the marriage was domiciled in England, but
most of the marital life was spent in South Africa.
