Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Quasi-contracts are not actual contracts but are legal obligations imposed by courts to prevent unjust enrichment. In the scenario where an unconscious man is treated in a hospital emergency room, he has not agreed to the service due to his condition, but the hospital provides necessary medical care. The law imposes a quasi-contract to ensure the hospital is compensated for its services, preventing the man from being unjustly enriched by receiving medical care without paying for it.
