- W202101829 abstract "Majiedt JA (Mpati P and Cachalia JA concurring) was confronted in this case with the interesting question whether a failure by police officers to perform their duties prescribed in specific legislation could give rise to delictual liability on the part of the state (the Minister of Safety and Security), where one of the parties entitled to their assistance suffered harm after being shot by a person whose actions could possibly have been influenced, had the officers in question acted in accordance with the statutory measures concerned. Although the question whether omissions flowing from a breach of a duty imposed by law is normally, and correctly so, regarded as falling under the heading of wrongfulness as one of the recognised “elements” of delict (see eg Neethling and Potgieter Neethling-Potgieter-Visser Law of delict (2010) 54 et seq; Van der Walt and Midgley Principles of delict (2005) 78 et seq; Loubser, Midgley et al The law of delict in South Africa (2010) 143 et seq), the court in the present instance hardly touched upon the wrongfulness issue, opting instead to determine the question of liability by focusing on principles of the element of causation (factual and legal) to the facts at hand. Although this in itself raised the perplexing question whether it is at all possible to apply the well-established condition sine qua non or “but for” test for factual causation to determine whether an omission caused a specific infringement of an individual interest (as to which, see Neethling and Potgieter 184-185; Van der Walt and Midgley 199-200), the court seemed oblivious to this fact and proceeded to “apply” this test without taking note of the necessary logical adjustments to the thought processes involved in determining whether negative conduct (an omission) caused a specific result. The judgment ultimately focused on the issue of the plaintiffs’ (respondents’) contributory fault, in respect of which the well-known notion of contributory negligence was applied to the facts, without any profound analysis of the legal principles involved." @default.
