AI summary
The Western Cape High Court considered whether the Road Accident Fund was liable for a plaintiff’s past hospital and medical expenses where a medical scheme had paid part of those costs. The court followed Van Wyk and held that the medical scheme payments did not reduce the RAF’s liability, and the claim was upheld.
