Minister of Police v Skosana[1] is an important case in South African law. It was heard in the Appellate Division on 19 March 1976, with judgment handed down on 27 September. The judges were Wessels JA, Jansen JA, Corbett JA, Kotzé JA and Viljoen AJA.
The case is especially important in the law of delict, dealing with the problems relating to causation and the conditio sine qua non or "but-for" test. Where there was a negligent delay in furnishing medical aid and treatment to the deceased, whose widow established, on a balance of probabilities, that he would not have died "but for" such delay, the court held that she was entitled to damages.
