quasi-contract

(plural: quasi-contracts)

Another name for a contract implied in law, which acts as a remedy for a dispute between two parties that don't have a contract. A quasi-contract is a legal obligation—not a traditional contract—which is decided by a judge for one party to compensate the other. Thus, a quasi-contract is a retroactive judgment to correct a circumstance in which one party acquires something at the expense of the other.
