, May / June Examination 2022
Question 1:
John works in the control tower at the Take flight Airport. He suffers from a rare disease that causes

unexpected blackouts. However, he is on prescription medicine that effectively eliminates the possibility of
the blackouts. On one particular day, he does not take his medicine. In the control tower, he has a
blackout and is unable to give the necessary instructions to departing and arriving aircraft. A catastrophic
airplane accident takes place during his blackout because no instructions were forthcoming. A potential
plaintiff approaches you for a legal opinion.


Write an opinion on the question whether John’s behaviour qualified as conduct for the purpose of
delictual liability. (10)



Answer 1:
Conduct is defined as a voluntary human act or omission. “Voluntary” means that the person must be able
to control his muscular movements by means of his will. The act of the wrongdoer must be voluntary to
give rise to delictual liability. Conditions that may cause a person to act involuntary as they tender him
incapable of controlling his bodily movements such as absolute compulsion (vis absoluta), sleep,
unconsciousness, fainting fit, epileptic fit, serious intoxication, blackout, reflex movements, strong emotional
pressure, mental disease, hypnosis and heart attack.


However, John had been receiving medical treatment for a diagnosed illness but failed to take his
prescribed medication on that particular occasion. He therefore intentionally placed himself in a medical
state (actio libera in causa). Actio libera in causa – defence of automatism will not succeed if defendant
intentionally created the situation in which he acts involuntarily in order to harm another. The defendant
will be held liable for his culpable in creating the state of automatism which resulted in damage to the
plaintiff.


John was negligent his automatic “conduct”. Where the reasonable man would have foreseen the
possibility of causing harm while in a state of automatism e.g in Victor case, X was convicted of
negligence driving despite causing the accident during an epileptic fit, as he had been suffering fits for 13
years and the reasonable man would have foreseen the possibility of causing harm while in a state of
automatism. In this case, John knew he may have a blackout if his medication was taken.


Only the voluntary act closest to the harmful consequence is of relevance and it is therefore unnecessary
to consider prior voluntary acts. John placed himself in a mechanical state by note taking his medication.
Therefore, John was probably negligent, or could even have had intention in the form of dolus eventualis.
