6 See p. 27 in Chapter 5, where van der Merwe concludes that “as a legal institution sui generis … it undoubtedly leads to a better understanding of the practical working of the institution”. But compare p. 78 where he states that the right in an apartment “should be placed on the same footing as the ownership of land”.
