Concept and Scope
Legal Framework in South Africa
This study investigates the complexities surrounding liability insurance within South
African law, focusing on its role as a type of indemnity insurance that addresses the
insured’s legal obligations to third parties. Despite its vital function in safeguarding
against third-party claims, liability insurance is often misunderstood, especially regarding
the insurer’s responsibility for indemnification and the management of defense and
settlement processes. The paper critiques the absence of comprehensive statutory
regulation and the scarcity of judicial guidance, revealing the legal difficulties arising from
the complex nature of third-party responsibilities and contractual elements. Through an
analysis of pertinent case law, legislation, and scholarly commentary, this research
emphasizes the need for more robust legal structures and clearer judicial interpretations
to better address the challenges of liability insurance in South Africa, ultimately aiming to
enhance the coherence and predictability of insurance law.
