AI summary
The Supreme Court of Appeal considered two consolidated appeals about the Road Accident Fund, a directive issued on 21 June 2022, and changes to the RAF 1 claim form published in July 2022. The court said section 17(1) of the Road Accident Fund Act obliges the Fund to compensate “any person” and does not exclude illegal foreigners, and it dismissed both appeals with costs.
This may be relevant to Road Accident Fund claims involving foreign nationals and to the validity of the Directive and claim form changes mentioned in the judgment.
