, Introduction
In the case of Komape and Others v Minister of Basic Education and Others
(2020), the Supreme Court of Appeal1 dealt with significant issues concerning
claims for shock (psychiatric injury) and the parameters of constitutional damages
within the South African legal framework.2 This essay will explore what a plaintiff
must establish to succeed in a claim for psychiatric injury and analyse the court’s
reasoning regarding the failure of claims for constitutional damages. 3
Visser discusses the Komape case by analysing the implications of the court's
decisions regarding claims for non-patrimonial loss, particularly focusing on the
principles governing shock or psychiatric injury. 4 Visser also addresses the context
of constitutional damages, emphasising the lack of a legal framework to support
such claims and the necessity for clear guidelines in awarding damages for
violations of constitutional rights.5 His commentary reflects on the balance between
common law principles and constitutional mandates, providing a critical
perspective on the current state of damages law in South Africa.6
