Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In quasi contract, also known as a contract implied in law, the court can create a contractual relationship between the parties even if they did not have an actual contract. This remedy is typically used when one party has been unjustly enriched at the expense of the other, as in this situation where Jaime has already put in work to prepare the land and plant the first crop. While there may be other potential remedies available, quasi contract seems like the most applicable option given the circumstances described.
