1. Facts of the Case (3 marks)
In the case of Durr v ABSA Bank and Another 1997 (3) SA 448 (SCA), Mr. Durr had
invested a substantial amount of money through ABSA Bank, relying on the advice
provided by the bank's financial advisor. The advisor had assured Mr. Durr that the
investment was safe and promised a high return. However, the investment did not
perform as expected, resulting in significant financial loss for Mr. Durr. He
subsequently sued ABSA Bank, claiming that the bank's advisor had misled him and
that the bank was liable for the poor investment advice.
