The exchange should have adequate consideration. There is certain benefit which is received by the party because of which the promise is made. These benefits are termed as adequate consideration.

Hence, talking about the contract then it has to be enforced by the law. When personal exchanges are concerned there are special cases when it is enforced by the law.

If the partners have put in their share on 50% then a contract determining these clause and promises is made.

Talking about the quasi contract, there is no actual contract in this. There is no agreement between the two parties. Both the parties are independent of any agreement.

There is no written agreement in the quasi contract. The quasi contract helps in the unjust enrichment of one party at the cost of other party. The unjust could be on the basis of payment of goods. In these cases lies the chance of unjust. This is the reason why court has initiated quasi contract where the chances of unjust will get reduce.

There are various kinds of quasi contract. The very first kind of quasi contract is the contract done on the supply of necessaries. In this case a person is not capable enough or in a condition to be a part of contract. But that person is bound to be in an agreement with the other person on the legal basis.

In such case he would be helped by another person who would supply the necessaries which would be necessary for the fulfillment of the condition of the life. When the supply is made then that person for whom the supply was made becomes reimbursed to that person.

He would repay the person who sponsored the supplies. The payment is made through the property of that person for whom the supply was made by the other person. For example if there is a man named Gopal, supplies the daily needed product which is suitable for the condition of the life to a person named Mangal then Mangal would repay him through his property. This is the quasi contract based on necessary supplies.

There is another kind of quasi contract which happens in this situation. The situation is such that a person has to make a payment or offer goods to the other person forced by the law. The person who makes the payment does not do it willingly. He does it because he is bound by the law.

He has no thought or agreement of his own to do any such kind of payment to the other person. Here the other person enjoys the benefit. In such case the one who enjoys the payment have to make the compensation to the person who had done the payment. He has to do the compensation in order to restore the things. He has to do the compensation in order to make the things at ease.

A very easy example can be given to make this quasi contract more comprehensive. Suppose if Ramu has left the goods at his relatives place that is at Shyam’s place then Shyam should not use it. But when Shyam uses those goods and makes benefit from those goods then he has to do the compensation.

He just simply can-not enjoy the profits. He has to make the payment of those goods left at his place by Ramu to Ramu.

Hence, these are some of the quasi contracts mentioned in the judiciary system of our nation.
