The court may grant a recovery based on quasi-contract in order to prevent an injustice from occurring when one party thought there was an enforceable contract, but an enforceable contract does not actually exist.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A quasi-contract is a legal concept where the court imposes a contract-like obligation on a party to prevent unjust enrichment, even though no formal contract exists between the parties. This allows for recovery when one party has received a benefit under circumstances that would make it unjust to retain that benefit without providing compensation, even if there was a misunderstanding about the existence of an enforceable contract.
