A delict occurs when one party commits a wrong against another. The basic elements of delict are conduct, wrongfulness, fault, causation and damage.
Wrongfulness or unlawfulness: conduct which is objectively unreasonable and without lawful justification. According to South African law, wrongfulness is a necessary condition for delictual liability. The test for wrongfulness is that of the boni mores, or legal convictions of the community. The test has been described as an objective, reasonableness test and looks at whether the harm was caused in a legally reprehensible way. Underpinning the boni mores are constitutional values.
