#CDHAlert | In today's alert, Eugene Bester and Serisha Hariram discuss resisting an enrichment claim on the basis of non-enrichment. In the recent case of Wamjay Holdings Investments (Pty) Ltd v Auckland Park Theological Seminary (2022/9895) [2023] ZAGPJHC 1098; [2024] 1 All SA 298 (GJ); 2024 (3) SA 614 (GJ) (2 October 2023), the requirement that a plaintiff must prove that a defendant must have been enriched to succeed with a claim for unjustified enrichment was debated. According to Auckland Park Theological Seminary (ATS), as a complete defence to an enrichment claim, all it had to do to succeed with the defence was to allege and prove that it had spent all the money which it received by the time the claim was launched and that this had not been done in bad faith. According to Friedman AJ, he would have grave difficulty in finding that ATS could rely on the defence of non-enrichment.

This is what I have been waiting for: a coalition of (over 20, and counting) progressive, grassroots organizations, including Jewish Voices for Peace, Progressive Democrats of America, Gen-Z for Change and IfNotNow, to counter AIPAC.  And now, AIPAC has promised to spend north of $100 million to oust Democratic candidates critical EVEN of unconditioned military support to fund a war in which over 70% of the victims are women, children and journalists. Grassroots organizations are the only way we can counter this dark, deep-pocketed Super PAC money, which is destroying our Great Nation's ideals and tarnishing our reputation abroad. If you have even a few dollars to spare every month, please set up a recurring donation to #RejectAIPAC. https://lnkd.in/gqTcD-9h And you can read more about the coalition's efforts here: https://lnkd.in/gKWpwzJG.

Leveraging technology and innovation expertise can transform an organization, and those it serves. All for the betterment of communities we collectively serve.

My podcasts on The Ancient Art of Modern Warfare presented the elements of war that I think every citizen should know in holding our elected representatives responsible for decisions about going to and prosecuting war. The time has come in this series to move from war to peace. The most important consideration in going to and in prosecuting war is that it is the only way to correct a grave injustice and bring about a more just and lasting peace. Correcting this grave injustice must outweigh the death and destruction unavoidable in any war. Defending against the unjust attack of an aggressor and repelling the attacker’s forces from the territory captured in that attack is, perhaps the only clear justification, although there is debate about the use of military force to stop grave violations of international law, and particularly those which could be considered crimes against humanity. Again, this must be done with the clear end state in view of restoring peace.  Once the iron dice or war are rolled, however, Clausewitz’s trinity of passion, reason, and chance can lead us to places we did not intend to go.  These closing episodes of the Ancient Art of Modern Warfare we explore the transition from the violence of war to that more just peace. #warfare #peace #justwar
