A prudent question is one half of wisdom: The consequences of business email compromise on individuals | Part 2

Modern day technology has afforded people the luxury of convenience. However, with this increased convenience has come an upsurge in cybercrime attacks against law firms, banks, individuals and other institutions. The most common forms of attack are ransomware attacks, hacking and phishing scams. In the first part of this alert, titled A prudent question is one half of wisdom: The consequences of business email compromise on banks and attorneys , we discussed the case of Hartog v Daly and Others (A5012/2022) ZAGPJHC 40; 2 All SA 156 (GJ) (24 January 2023), in which an attorney fell victim to fraudsters who intercepted email communication and provided false banking details. This resulted in the attorney making payment into a fraudulent account without further questioning the change in the details, leading to a claim against him by the rightful recipients of the funds, which claim was upheld by a full court. In this article, we discuss the case of Edward Nathan Sonnenberg Inc v Hawarden (Case no 421/23) ZASCA 90 (10 June 2024), in which the Supreme Court of Appeal (SCA) considered the liability of a law firm in respect of a claim for pure economic loss caused by an alleged negligent omission.
