Durr, invested a substantial amount of money in a financial
scheme upon the advice of ABSA Bank's financial advisor. The
investment turned out to be a failure, and Durr lost a significant
portion of his capital. Durr claimed that the bank's financial
advisor had negligently misrepresented the safety and
profitability of the investment, leading him to suffer financial
loss. Durr argued that had he been properly informed of the
risks, he would not have invested in the scheme.
