8 Module 3,4&5 Class test 3
9 Identify the following case. Provide the case name as well as the relevant criminal element dealt with in the case. (10 x 2) TOTAL: A mother has a protective relationship towards her child and failing to protect her child may lead to criminal liability. 2. If: a) the victim failed to get medical attention or to follow the instructions of the medical doctor; b) the wound was not lethal at the time of death; and c) the failure of the victim to comply with the instructions of the medical doctor were unreasonable it may not be said that person X who not fatally shot person Y, who then healed and later died of septicemic infection, was the cause of death. 3. In this case the interest in property weighed heavier/ more than the interest in life in a decision regarding self- defence. 4. In certain instances the legal convictions of the community will be used to decide that a duty exists which requires a person in a certain position or who holds a certain office to act positively. 5. A person should not be prosecuted for triviality and if they are, they should be acquitted. 6. A person who is in control of and has custody over a potentially dangerous object has a legal duty to ensure that the object does not cause harm to others and any omission to do so may lead to legal liability. 7. Consent will never constitute a defence against a murder charge. 8. Medical negligence is never a novus actus interveniens unless the victim was fully recovered from the original wound. 9. If a person raises a defence of non-pathological criminal incapacity, the State carries the onus to rebut this and if there is doubt, the accused must be given the benefit of the doubt. 10. In this case, Rumpff said: it is clear that in law the accused person cannot be held liable for every condition which gave rise to the ultimate result. Somewhere a limitation must be placed.

11 Module 5,6&7 Class test 4
12 Sammy is 11 years old and very hyperactive, especially when he has sweets. When he has sugar, he becomes hyperactive and then very ill and normally, he has to be taken to the doctor. Because of this, he is not allowed sweets during the week. One Wednesday he noticed that a window of the school tuck-shop was open so he climbed through the window and stole Jawbreakers, Fireballs, Jelly babies, Nerds, lollipops, chewing gum, all the chocolates and 4 cans of Coke. When he was climbing back through the window, he got caught by the principal who verbally chastised him and sent him home. At home, his mother Marianne who works as an antiques appraiser got angry at him because he did not listen to her about how sweets affect him and also about his actions at school that day. He stuck out his tongue and tried to run away but she caught him, grabbed a priceless and fragile African wooden spoon which she was apprising for a client, and gave Sammy 3 lashes, accepting the possibility that the spoon might break. Sammy yelled: Child abuse! Child abuse! On the last lashing, the spoon splintered into tiny pieces. Because of Sammy yelling, the neighbour had phoned the police who arrived at the scene and arrested Marianne for assault on Sammy. Marianne s clients arrive as she is taken away; they see the spoon and have a charge of malicious damage to property brought against Marianne. 1. Discuss, with reference to case law where applicable, the liability of the relevant party for the following: a. the theft of the sweets; (12) b. the alleged assault; and (6) c. the damage to property regarding the spoon. (6) 2. Why did the principal only verbally chastise Sammy? (6) TOTAL: 30
13 Memorandum 4 1a. To be held criminally liable a person must be criminally accountable (1). This means that a person understands right from wrong (1) and is able to control themselves according to this understanding (1). This is referred to as the two- legged test (1) for criminal capacity and it entails a cognitive and a conative element. The relevant ground of justification here would be youth (1) which was described as Jeugdigheid is onvolwassenheid, gebrek aan lewenservaring, onbesonnenheid en veral n geestestoestand van vatbaarheid vir beïnvloeding, veral deur volwassenes (1) in the Lehnberg case (1). Sammy is only 11 so he falls in the group of 10 to 14 year old minors (1). This means there is a rebuttable presumption that not criminally accountable (1). He cannot be held accountable and liable for the theft of the sweets (1). Youth as grounds of justification which exclude unlawfulness was discussed in the S v F case (1). Facts (1). Legal question (1). Decision (1).
14 1b. Marianne may raise the defence of disciplinary chastisement (1) on the charge of assault on Sammy. If this defence is successful, it will exclude the unlawfulness of her actions and thus she will not be held criminally liable (1). For this defence to be successful, Marianne must prove that the disciplinary chastisement met the following requirements: the minor deserved punishment; (1) the punishment was moderate; and (1) punishment was imposed with the aim of improving the minor s behaviour. (1) In casu these requirements were met and Marianne s defence will be successful. She will not be held liable on a charge of assault (1).
15 1c. When Marianne broke the spoon she acted with dolus eventualis (1) which is intention with knowledge of possibility (1). Marianne foresaw the possibility that the spoon could break and she accepted this possibility into the bargain (1). She thus had dolus directus in respect of given Sammy a hiding dolus eventualis in respect to breaking the spoon. (1) It was not the object to break the spoon but Marianne foresaw the possibility and recklessly continued (1). Since Marianne had dolus eventualis, which is a form of intent, it may be argued that the element of fault is present in the form of intent and Marianne will be liable on a charge of malicious damage to property (1).
16 2. A child may only be chastised physically by a parent guardian or person acting in loco parentis (1). S10 of the SA Schools Act 84 of 1996 has declared that no person may administer corporal punishment to a learner at a school (1). This was dealt with in the Williams case (1). Facts (1). Legal question (1). Decision (1).
