The discharge-for-value defence defeats a claim for unjustified enrichment where a recipient, without notice of mistake and not having induced the payment, receives funds that discharges a valid debt:

“When a beneficiary receives money to which it is entitled and has no knowledge that the money was erroneously wired, the beneficiary should not have to wonder whether it may retain the funds; rather, such a beneficiary should be able to consider the transfer of funds as a final and complete transaction, not subject to revocation.” Banque Worms v Bank America (1991) 570 N.E. 2d 189
