Abstract
The decision of Swartbooi v Road Accident Fund dealt with a claim by a secondary victim (that is, a person who was not directly involved in the motor vehicle accident) for emotional shock. The legal question was whether a secondary victim’s claim for emotional shock should be limited by the application of section 18(1) of the Road Accident Fund Act 56 of 1996 or not.
