Question

Bradley is sitting on his porch enjoying his very large front yard and drinking a lemonade when Chris, a kid from down the street, shows up and starts mowing Bradley’s yard. Bradley waves and smiles. Chris is mowing the lawn for money, but Bradley doesn’t know it (and shouldn’t know it because their two families often do nice things for each other without pay). Chris may be able to recover money from the courts on the basis of ______________.

Answer 1

Answer: A QUASI CONTRACT

Explanation:

QUASI CONTRACT

This is a retroactive agreement created by a Judge to correct a situation where one party gets something at the expense of another thereby constituting a retroactive agreement between both parties.

This arrangement may be imposed even if goods or services were not requested so long as they were accepted. The acceptance is what then creates an opportunity for the expectation of payment.
