Which is a correct distinction between a quasi-contract and a contract?
AA quasi-contract always requires consideration
BIn a quasi-contract the essentials of a valid contract are absent and the obligation is imposed by law
CBoth arise from consent
DA contract is imposed by law
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. In a quasi-contract the essentials of a valid contract are absent and the obligation is imposed by law
In a quasi-contract the usual essentials (offer, acceptance, consent, consideration) are absent and the duty is imposed by law, whereas a contract arises from the consent of the parties.
