Practice question
A claimant identifies a lawful voluntary unilateral act producing a qualifying unjust benefit at the claimant’s expense, but the precise fact pattern is not expressly named in the chapter. Is that omission alone conclusive against a quasi-contract claim?
- Yes, every unnamed case is barred
- No, Article 2143 allows other relations within Article 2142, subject to establishing the actual legal requirements
- Yes, unless the claimant is elderly
- No, because every loss automatically produces liability
- Yes, unless a judge first signs a contract
Legal references
- Civil Code, Articles 2142-2143: https://elibrary.judiciary.gov.ph/thebookshelf/showdocs/2/53360
