Assignment 1 - Due 19 August 2024
1. You are a recently admitted legal practitioner practising as an advocate in terms of the Legal
Practice Act, 2014. On the afternoon of 26 June 2024 at around 7am in Bryanston,
Johannesburg, Mr M is on his way back home from a run when he got hit by Mr. Deen Ros,
driving a 4/x4 Bakkie motor vehicle with registration number DR 482 RR GP. The collision
occurred on the side of the road a few metres from the house owned and registered in the name
of Mrs M, the wife of Mr M. and this is after Mr. Ros had lost control of the motor vehicle which
also resulted in him colliding with a boundary wall of the house owned by Mrs M. Mr M
suffered a broken leg because of the collision and now seeks to institute a claim for damages
against Mr. Dee Ros, including medical costs in the amount of R130 000,00. The costs to repair
the damage to the wall was quoted to Mrs M as amounting to R68 000,00 and she seeks to
institute legal action for these damages as well. Mr M and Mrs M now approach you for advice
following a referral from a mutual friend and Mr M’s instructions are for you to institute legal
action against Mr. Deen Ros for his negligent driving that resulted in the personal injury
damages he has suffered, and Mrs M seeks to sue for the costs to repair the damages to the
boundary wall of her property.
A) Discuss whether the Road Accident Fund can be approached in this matter involving Mrs M.
The Road Accident Fund (RAF) in South Africa provides compulsory cover to all users of South
African roads against injuries sustained or death arising from accidents involving motor vehicles.
This fund compensates people who were injured in road accidents for general damages, medical
expenses, loss of income, and loss of support.
In the case involving Mr. M and Mrs. M:
Mr. M's injuries and associated medical costs can be claimed from the RAF since they were a
result of a motor vehicle accident where negligence is involved.
However, Mrs. M's claim for the repair costs to the boundary wall of her house would not be
covered by the RAF. The RAF does not compensate for property damage such as damage to
buildings or walls. This type of damage is generally covered under property insurance or can
be claimed directly from the party responsible for the damage (in this case, Mr. Deen Ros).
According to the Road Accident Fund Act 56 of 1996, the RAF is liable to compensate for:
Personal injury claims against the RAF for damages in favor of the injured party.
Loss of support claims arising from the death of a spouse or parent due to a road accident.
For property damage claims such as Mrs. M's, the appropriate course of action would be to institute a
legal action against Mr. Deen Ros directly for the costs to repair the boundary wall.
To summarize:
Mr. M should approach the RAF for compensation regarding his personal injury and medical
costs.
