quasi contract is a contract in which obligation of one party is shifted to another party

An Example of a Quasi Contract

A classic quasi-contract circumstance might be created by the delivery of a pizza to the wrong address—that is, not to the person who paid for it. If the individual at the incorrect address fails to fess to the error, and instead keeps the pizza, he or she could be seen legally as having accepted the food, and thus be obliged to pay for it. A court could then rule to issue a quasi contract that would require the pizza recipient to pay back the cost of the food to the party who purchased it—or to the pizzeria, if it subsequently delivered a second pie to the purchaser. The restitution mandated under the quasi contract aims for a fair resolution of the situation.
