A Taoyuan court has ordered a woman and her two daughters to pay back more than NT$80,000 they racked up on a man's credit card ordering food delivery — a win for the cardholder and a warning about handing over card details.

• A man met a woman through a dating app; when she came to view a rental property he was offering, he said he would treat her and gave her his credit card details to order food.
• She saved the card to Uber Eats and, over the next two months, she and her two daughters ordered more than NT$80,000 worth of meals.
• Her defense was that he told her to "order whatever you want," but she could not show he had ever approved anything beyond that first meal.
• The court treated everything after the first day's food and drinks as unjust enrichment and ordered the three of them to repay it.

Outlook: The ruling can still be appealed, but it sets a clear line — a one-time offer to pay does not amount to open-ended permission to use someone's card.
