[00:00:01]Do you know sometimes law creates a contract even when no real contract exist? This is called quasi contract.

[00:00:08]Sounds difficult? Let's understand it in the easiest way. Imagine food gets delivered to the wrong house by mistake.

[00:00:16]The person living there knows the food is not theirs, but still eats it happily. Now technically, there was no agreement between the delivery person and that person. So there is no real contract, but law says you enjoyed the benefit, so you must pay for it. This is called a quasi contract. A quasi contract is not an actual contract based on agreement, but it is an obligation created by law to prevent unfair benefit or unjust enrichment. So remember, no agreement, but legal obligation. This is quasi contract. Follow Law with Satyajit for easy law concepts and exam preparation. Thank you.
