Question

Quasi contracts are created by ______.

• A. agreement
• B. law
• C. precedence
• D. executive order

Answer 1

The correct option is B law

• A quasi-contract may be defined as, “a transaction in which there is no contract between the parties; the law creates certain rights and obligation between them which are similar to those created by a contract."
  
• As per Black's Law Dictionary, 9th Edition, under quasi contract, an obligation is imposed by law on parties because of a relationship between parties or because one of them would otherwise be unjustly enriched. It’s not a contract, but instead is a remedy that allows the plaintiff to recover a benefit conferred on the defendant.
