Payment by an Interested Party

Payment by an Interested Party refers to a situation in quasi-contracts where a person pays another for a benefit received, even if there’s no formal agreement. This often happens when someone acts to prevent harm or provide assistance without being asked, and the recipient ends up benefiting. The person making the payment can seek reimbursement from the beneficiary, as it's deemed fair to compensate someone for their effort or expense. Essentially, it ensures that one party isn’t unjustly enriched at another's expense, promoting fairness in situations where a legal contract is absent.
