Text in Afrikaans, abstract in Afrikaans and English / Different methods of calculation of the loss of support of minor children, are
investigated. According to one method (A), one first has to establish that the
deceased's income was not all absorbed for his/her own maintenance. Only if there
is surplus income available, it can be inferred that the deceased contributed towards
the maintenance of the minor children and that the children have suffered a loss.
According to another method (B) both parents' income are added and then divided
between the family members. The minor child's loss of support is an amount which
represent his/her share in the deceased's own income - a child automatically suffers
a loss according to this method, in the event of death of a parent.
Method B ought to be applied, because it is consistent with the reciprocal duty of support between spouses and the duty of spouses to maintain children. / Verskillende metodes om die verlies aan onderhoud van afhanklike kinders te bereken
word ondersoek. Volgens een benadering (A) moet eers vasgestel word of die
oorledene se inkomste nie alles geabsorbeer is vir sy /haar eie onderhoud nie. Slegs
indien daar surplusinkomste was, kan aanvaar word dat die oorledene bygedra het tot
die onderhoud van die minderjarige kinders en dat die kinders 'n verlies ly.
Volgens die ander benadering (B) word beide ouers se inkomste bymekaar getel en
dan tussen die gesinslede verdeel. Elke minderjarige kind se verlies aan onderhoud
is 'n bedrag wat sy/haar aandeel in die oorlede ouer se afsonderlike inkomste
verteenwoordig - 'n kind ly outomaties volgens hierdie metode 'n verlies.
Metode B behoort meestal aanwending te vind, aangesien dit in ooreenstemming is met die wederkerige onderhoudsplig tussen gades en die plig van ouers om hul kinders te onderhou. / Private Law / LL. M. (Law)
