R v Loubser
R v Loubser is an important case in South African criminal law, albeit with a very brief report. Its importance lies especially in the area of legal causation.
Facts[edit]
A septic bandage was applied to an open wound, which had been caused in an assault.
Judgment[edit]
The court there held that that circumstance did not interrupt the causal chain. Rumpff J made the declaration that, in the eyes of the law, an act is the cause of a situation if, according to human experience, the situation will flow from the act.
