Case Study – Quasi-Contracts – Roman Law

Description

In this episode of The World of Contracts, we explore quasi-contracts in Roman law, focusing on Negotiorum Gestio and Condictio Indebiti. These legal principles created obligations in situations where no formal agreement existed, but fairness demanded a remedy. Through case studies, we illustrate how Roman law addressed the management of another’s affairs and the restitution of mistaken payments, providing timeless lessons on equity and justice in the absence of contracts.
