QUESTIONS
Rule 10.2 of the official rules of hockey states that "protective headgear must be worn by a
player with goalkeeping privileges when defending a penalty corner or penalty stroke." Rule
11.1 states that "(the) umpires control the match, apply the Rules and are the
judges of fair play."
During a local club match Tally was playing as a player with goalkeeping privileges. Umpire
Bonga noticed that she was not wearing a face mask when preparing to defend a penalty
corner. He stopped the game and asked her why she was not wearing a mask, to which she
replied that the mask made her feel hot and sweaty. Umpire Bonga then said "okay" and
allowed the match to continue. Towards the end of the match Tally was once again defending a
penalty corner without wearing a mask when the ball hit her in the face. She sustained a severe
injury.
Tally's friend Teven, a NUSTdropout who is incomprehensible even when he is sober, advises
her that she can claim her medical costs resulting from the injury from the umpire and the
hockey union.
Answerthe following questionsbasedon the above facts:
5.1 List the elements of a delict.
(5)
5.2 Advise Tally on her chances of being successful in her claim against Umpire Bonga. (10)
