QUASI CONTRACTS
(2)
Courts typically will not allow a party who has conferred a benefit
on another to recover in quasi contract if the party conferring the
benefit did so officiously (e.g., if a car dealership applies, without
your asking or agreeing to have it do so, an expensive finish to
your car after you agree to buy the car but before you take delivery,
you should not have to pay for the unsought benefit) or as a result
of misconduct (e.g., a distant cousins murderer cannot sue you to
recover a portion of what the cousin left you in her will) or
negligence (e.g., a driver who falls asleep at the wheel and loses
control of his car, which ends up sideways on the sidewalk in front
of you, preventing you from falling into an open manhole in the
sidewalk, cannot sue you in quasi-contract for saving you from
injury or death).
