Article 1160

Obligations derived from quasi-contracts shall be subject to the provisions of Chapter I, Title XVII of this Book.

Ang mga obligasyong galing sa quasi-contracts ay maipapasailalim sa mga probisyong nakasaad sa Chapter I, Title XVII ng Librong ito.

Discussion:

A quasi-contract is a juridical relation which arises from a lawful, voluntary and unilateral act/s executed by somebody for the benefit of another and for which the former must be indemnified to the end that no one shall be enriched or benefited at the expense of another (Article 2142).

Presumptive Consent.- The consent in quasi-contracts is referred to as presumptive consent. Since a quasi-contract is unilateral contract created by the act/s of the gestor, the consent is provided by law through presumption. This consent gives rise to multiple judicial relations which result in obligations for the delivery of the thing or rendition of service.
