QUESTION 1 (3 ANSWERS PROVIDED)
The fundamental principle in determining the quantum of an enrichment claim is that the plaintiff
can claim the lesser of either the amount by which they have been impoverished or the amount
by which the defendant has been enriched. This ensures that the defendant is not held liable for
more than the benefit received and prevents unjust enrichment beyond the plaintiff's loss.
The quantum of the enrichment claim is typically assessed at the time the claim is instituted.
This timing is crucial because the defendant's liability is based on the enrichment they hold at
that moment.
