- DCCJ3288/2013
The plaintiff paid US$104,246.00 under an operative mistake induced by fraudulent emails; the defendant was enriched at the plaintiff's expense; the defendant failed to act in good faith because the large, unusual excess payment and subsequent refund instructions gave grounds for inquiry which the defendant did not make and thus the change of position defence fails; accordingly restitution of US$104,246.00 (plus interest and costs) is ordered.
