Judge of Appeal Hefer (Hefer JA) made the following comments (at 216I – 217H):

“From the time of the Glossators the jurists were never in agreement on the effect of an error of law and after the reception of the Roman law in Western Europe two very distinct schools of thought developed. On the one hand there were writers like Cujacius[B1] , Donellus[B2] , Noodt [B3] and Johannes Voet [B4] who were of the opinion that the payment of an indebitum made in errorem juris was as a rule not recoverable. But there were others who took the opposite view. Among these were Grotius[B5] , Vinnius, Huber[B6] , Van Leeuwen [B7] and Van der Keessel[B8] . (I mention only a few of the better-known writers; each side had many other supporters, not only in Holland and the other Dutch provinces, but also in France and Germany. In France, for example, Pothier [B9] and D’Aguesseau entered the arena and in Germany Carpzovius, Muhlenbrüch, Brunnemann and Leyser (and later Glück, Von Savigny and Windscheid.)”
