Recovery Based on Quasi Contract

Recovery Based on Quasi Contract
Equitable theory imposed by courts to obtain justice and prevent unjust enrichment.
Party seeking quantum meruit must show the following:
§ A benefit was conferred to the other party.
§ Party conferring did so with the reasonable  expectation of being paid.
§ The benefit was not volunteered.

§ Retaining benefit without paying for it would result in unjust enrichment of the party receiving the benefit.
