PREVIEW
QUESTION 1
Brian, a school bus driver, is involved in an accident on his way back from transporting students to their respective
schools. His school bus swerved into the oncoming lane and collided with Thabo’s car. As a result of this accident,
Brian sustained serious head injuries and became unconscious, while Thabo’s car was left badly damaged. Brian was
subsequently hospitalised and eventually regained consciousness. However, he has no recollection of how the accident
occurred. During the treatment for his head injuries, the medical practitioners determined that Brian suffered an
epileptic fit (a seizure) at the time of the accident.
1.1 Discuss with reference to relevant authority whether Brian indeed “acted” for the purposes of the law of delict.
Restrict the scope of your answer to what is asked in the question and note in particular that the question deals with
the element of conduct. (15)

conduct. (15)
1.1.
In terms of the law of delict, a person can only be held liable for conduct that is considered
to be a voluntary human act or omission. Conduct is the basis of liability and requires that
the act or omission must be willed and controlled by the person. In Brian's situation, he
experienced an epileptic fit while driving, resulting in the accident.
According to Neethling and Potgieter, voluntary conduct is an essential element in
establishing liability.1They argue that an act is only voluntary if it is subject to the will of
