IT CAN BE TRICKY TO PROVE AN ENRICHMENT LIEN<\/h2>\n

Davis and Another v Purple Fountain Properties 118 (Pty) Ltd (08\/36380, 30457\/15) [2016] ZAGPJHC 198 (28 July 2016)<\/h3>\n

It is one thing for a developer installing basic infrastructure in a subdivision to allege that the owner’s property has been enriched and that he can exercise an enrichment lien over the property until he has been compensated, and another to prove actual expense in respect of a subdivided property.

Nedbank Limited v Antoniou (1150\/00) [2016] ZAECPEHC 30 (1 July 2016)<\/h3>\n

It highlights the reality that standing surety can sometimes come back and bite, and that unsubstantiated allegations of misrepresentation on the side of a bank cannot assist in escaping liability. Caveat subscriptor!<\/p>\n
