QUESTION 1 (ESSAY) NATURE AND ASSESSMENT OF NON-PATRIMONIAL LOSS AND
DAMAGES FOR PATRIMONIAL LOSS
1.1.
To succeed in a claim for emotional shock, or psychiatric injury, under South African law,
certain elements must be proven by the plaintiff. These elements are closely linked to the
general principles of delictual liability and have been shaped by both common law and judicial
precedent. A delict is a civil wrong that results in harm or loss, and to claim successfully, all
five elements of a delict must be present: conduct, wrongfulness, fault, causation, and harm or
loss. In the context of emotional shock, these elements are particularly scrutinized. Below is a
discussion of what the plaintiff must prove to succeed in such a claim, with reference to the
case of Komape and Others v Minister of Basic Education and Others [2020 (2) SA 347
(SCA)] and other relevant authorities.
