QUESTION 1
In South African law, the existence of a general enrichment action has been a topic of
significant debate. The absence of a specific legislative provision for enrichment actions
has led to an ongoing scholarly discourse regarding the potential need for a
comprehensive framework to address unjust enrichment cases. Some legal experts
argue that the current legal system is equipped to handle such cases through the
application of existing principles, while others emphasize the necessity of a distinct
enrichment action to deal with complexities arising from unjust enrichment scenarios.
