Quasi-contract types are when one party has an obligation to another party
that’s imposed by the law and separate from the agreement between the two
parties. Quasi-contract are also referred to as implied-in-law contracts. They’re a
special kind of contract, lacking mutual assent, but ordered by the court to avoid an
injustice.
Two kinds of quasi-contract are
Quasi-Contract Type: Payment by an Interested Person, when someone who’s
interested in monetary payment from another person who’s bound by law to pay
them entitled to be reimbursed by the other person. For example, if a consignee
had a fire in their vehicle during transit and suffered loss, the insurer can claim the
loss so they can get compensated.
Quasi-Contract Type: Obligation to Pay for Non-gratuitous Act, if a person
does something under the law for another person or delivers them something
without having the intention of doing it gratuitously, the receiver is bound by law to
pay the giver for delivering their product or service. If a trades-person accidentally
leaves their goods at another person’s house, that person can’t treat them as their
own unless they pay for them.
