QUESTION 1

(a) Briefly discuss the distinction between local peregrinus and foreign
peregrinus.

A peregrinus is a person who is not domiciled or resident within the area of jurisdiction
of the specific court in question.
The distinction lies in their connection to South Africa
as a whole. A local peregrinus is a person who is a peregrinus of a particular High Court
division e.g., the Western Cape Division but is an incola of South Africa because they
reside or are domiciled within the area of another South African High Court division e.gthe Gauteng Division.
1
In contrast, a foreign peregrinus is a person who is a peregrinus
of South Africa as a whole, meaning they are not domiciled or resident anywhere within
the borders of the country.
