Question 2 of 40
3.0 Points
The most important judgment on indemnity clauses in hospital admissions forms is Afrox
Healthcare Bpk v Strydom 2002 (6) SA 21 (SCA). The Consumer Protection Act 68 of 2008
came into force some time after the Afrox case. The provisions of this Act changed the legal
position to some extent.
Which one of the following statements is correct?
A.
, It is still unnecessary for a hospital (service provider) to draw the patient‘s
(consumer‘s) attention to an indemnity clause contained in a hospital admissions
form.
B.
Since the coming into operation of the Consumer Protection Act 68 of 2008, an
indemnity clause contained in a hospital admission form is always null and void and
unenforceable.
C.
It is still uncertain whether an indemnity clause purporting to exempt a hospital
(service provider) from liability for any loss attributable to the gross negligence of the
hospital is valid and enforceable.
D.
Since the coming into operation of the Consumer Protection Act 68 of 2008, an
indemnity clause purporting to exempt a hospital (service provider) from liability for
any loss attributable to gross negligence on its part is void to the extent that it
contravenes the provisions of the Act.
Feedback:
See 4.1.2.3 of the study guide.
The Consumer Protection Act answers the question that was left hanging in Afrox,
namely whether an indemnity clause could be applied to avoid liability for gross
negligence. Section 51(1)(c) now provides that a supplier must not make a transaction
or agreement subject to any term or condition purporting to limit or exempt a supplier
of goods or services from liability for any loss directly or indirectly attributable to
the gross negligence of the supplier or any person acting for or controlled by the
supplier. Section 51(3) of the Act makes it clear that such a purported term or
condition of a transaction or agreement, or notice to which a transaction or agreement
is purported to be subject, is void to the extent that it contravenes section 53.
Question 3 of 40
3.0 Points
Clarke v Hurst NO 1992 (4) SA 630 (D) confirms that passive euthanasia—
A.
cannot, in law, be regarded as the cause of the patient‘s death.
,
B.
can be executed lawfully only if the patient is already brain dead.
C.
would be lawful if it gives effect to the deceased‘s wishes as expressed in a living will.
D.
might be lawful if the person whose death is in question enjoys a very poor quality of
life.
Feedback:
Clarke v Hurst NO 1992 (4) SA 630 (D) confirms that passive euthanasia might be
lawful if the person whose death is in question enjoys a very poor quality of life. See
6.2.3.2 of the study guide. The court stated as follows: ―The decision whether the
discontinuance of the artificial nutritioning of the patient and his resultant death would
be wrongful, depends on whether, judged by the boni mores of our society, it would
be reasonable to discontinue such nutritioning. This decision relates to the quality of
life that the patient still enjoys.‖

murder.
B.
active euthanasia resulting in a conviction of culpable homicide.
C.
