Question
Commerzbank AG v Gareth Price-Jones [2003] EWCA Civ 1663
Answer
the defendant banker attempted to use change of position as a defence to an action by his employer bank for return of a bonus they had paid twice by mistake. The defendant had not spent the additional bonus yet, and so could not be said to have been ‘disenriched’ as required by Lord Goff, but argued that he had believed the second payment was intended to increase his entitlement in recognition of his services, and that this had induced him not to seek higher remuneration elsewhere. The Court of Appeal did not accept that this was a relevant change of position, as the defendant had not done anything sufficiently significant or substantial in reliance on the receipt. However, the court kept open the possibility that a relevant change of position could arise even where, as here, no expenditure had been incurred.
