Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Quasi contract, also known as "implied-in-law contract," is a legal agreement created by the courts to prevent one party from unjustly enriching itself through the mistake, coercion or other wrongdoing of another party. In this case, even if Jesse was not aware of the error, Hubert can still recover the amount from Jesse in quasi contract, as long as Hubert was mistaken and paid taxes that should have been assessed against Jesse.
