Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Intoxicated persons have no legal capacity to consent to a contract, and any agreement they make is generally considered void. However, in a quasi-contractual situation, the law imposes an obligation on the intoxicated person to pay for the reasonable value of any necessaries they receive, even if there was no actual contract in place. Therefore, option C, quasi-contract, is the correct answer. Option A (void contract) is incorrect because a contract with an intoxicated person is typically voidable, not void. Option B (unconscionable contract) and option D (pseudo-contract) are not applicable in this situation.
