OSTRICH “ATTACKS” VISITOR ON PROPERTY: WHO IS LIABLE?
Van der Westhuizen v Burger (204/2017) [2017] ZASCA 178 (1 December 2017)
Does a property owner become liable for injuries sustained by a visitor who ran from an ostrich on the property which he thought was attacking him? Yes, this is entirely possible, but the facts of the incident must support a finding both of causation and liability, as the present matter illustrates.
