QUESTION 1: GENERAL CONCEPTS AND PRINCIPLES OF LAW OF DAMAGES
Study the set of facts below and answer the questions set on it. Zacks, a forty-year old male, who is employed at Africa
Academic Hospital, was involved in a motor vehicle accident, while on official duty. The delivery van he was driving collided
with an NP 200 Nissan bakkie carrying cement bags. The accident happened along a public road, between two major cities in
South Africa. Zacks sustained some serious bodily injuries which took him three months to heal. Zacks’ employer accepted
responsibility, but succeeded in claiming 50% contributory negligence on the part of its employee, in that he was driving above
the required speed limit at the time the accident happened.
