QUESTON 1 (3 ANSWERS PROVIDED)
The requirement that enrichment must have been sine causa means that the enrichment
must be without a sufficient legal basis. In other words, there must be no valid legal ground
justifying the transfer of value from the impoverished party to the enriched party. Courts
have developed this principle through various cases, analyzing when an enrichment is
deemed unjustified.
In Trust Bank van Afrika Bpk v Van der Walt 1962 (1) SA 174 (T) interpretation, enrichment
is unjustified if there is no obligation between the enriched and impoverished party, while
De Vos emphasizes the absence of a sufficient legal ground. The courts have used these
perspectives to determine whether claims under the condictio sine causa can succeed.
