FOUNDATIONS OF SA LAW (LAWS1FL)
Tutorial 1 Questions: Law of Delict
2024(2)

Question 1
Name the three actions that are described as the pillars of our Law of Delict, and
explain how they can be used to justify compensation.

Question 2
Explain in a short essay how Chapter 2 of the Constitution of the Republic of South
Africa, 1996, may influence the Law of Delict, directly and indirectly.

Question 3
X is involved in an accident while driving his car. When he regains consciousness,
he has no recollection of how the accident took place. He is hospitalised and during
treatment for head injuries, the doctors determine that he suffered an epileptic fit at
the time of the accident. The car of Y, the other person involved in the accident, is
badly damaged.
Can it be said that it was an act on the part of X that damaged Y’s car? Would it
make any difference to your answer if X had been receiving treatment for epilepsy
before the accident, but had failed to take his medicine for several days before the
accident took place? Discuss.
