This question deals with the transfer of ownership of immovable property (a flat) and the nature of rights involved. We need to identify the incorrect statement. Let's analyze each option: a) During July 2020 Sandy had a personal right against Silas to live in the flat.* When Sandy leases the flat, she acquires a personal right (also known as a creditor's right) against Silas (the owner/lessor) to occupy the flat. This right is enforceable only against Silas, not against the world at large. This statement is correct*. b) Ownership over the flat will be transferred through delivery with the short hand because Sandy is already in control of the flat.* Delivery with the short hand (traditio brevi manu) is a method of transferring ownership of movable property where the transferee is already in possession of the item. A flat is immovable property. Ownership of immovable property is transferred through registration in the Deeds Office, not by any form of delivery. This statement is incorrect*. c) Ownership over the flat will be transferred from Silas to Sandy through registration in the Deeds office.* This is the correct legal principle for transferring ownership of immovable property (like a flat) in most jurisdictions, including South Africa. Registration in the Deeds Office is essential to effect the transfer of a real right like ownership. This statement is correct*. d) Once Sandy is the owner of the flat, she obtains a real right over the flat. This real right can be limited by the law and the rights of others.* Ownership is the most comprehensive real right a person can have over a thing. However, as established in legal principles (e.g., Gien v Gien), ownership is never absolute and is always subject to limitations imposed by law (e.g., zoning regulations, environmental laws) and the rights of others (e.g., neighbour law). This statement is correct*. The question asks for the incorrect statement. Based on the analysis, option b is incorrect. The correct option is b). $\boxed{\text{b) Ownership over the flat will be transferred through delivery with the short hand because Sandy is already in control of the flat.}}$ Last free one today — make it count tomorrow, or type /upgrade for unlimited.
