Global & Local Investments Advisors (Pty) Ltd v Fouché (71/2019) [2020] ZASCA 8;
2021 (1) SA 371 (SCA)
Facts
Mr Nickolaus Ludick Fouché, a mining consultant, appointed Global & Local Investments
Advisors (Pty) Ltd (Global) as his financial agent in November 2015 to invest funds on his
behalf through a Corporate Cash Manager (CCM) account held with Investec Bank. The
written mandate required that all investment instructions must be sent to a specific fax
number or email address with the client’s signature.1
In August 2016, fraudsters hacked Mr Fouché’s Gmail account and sent three fraudulent
emails to Global, instructing it to transfer a total of R804,000 to third-party accounts at First
National Bank. These emails, although sent from Fouché’s legitimate address, did not
include his actual or electronic signature but simply ended with ―Nick‖ or ―Thanks, Nick‖.1
