A quick definition of implied-in-law contract:

An implied-in-law contract is an agreement between two or more parties that creates obligations that are enforceable by law. It can be a verbal or written agreement, or even an agreement that is implied by the actions of the parties involved. This type of contract is also known as a quasi-contract or constructive contract. It is called "implied-in-law" because it is not explicitly stated, but rather inferred by the court based on the circumstances of the situation. Essentially, it is a legal obligation that is imposed on one party to prevent unjust enrichment or unfairness to the other party.

A more thorough explanation:

An implied-in-law contract is a type of contract that is not explicitly agreed upon by the parties involved, but is instead imposed by law to prevent one party from being unjustly enriched at the expense of another party. This type of contract is also known as a quasi-contract or constructive contract.

For example, if a contractor performs work on a property without a written contract, but the property owner accepts and benefits from the work, the law may imply a contract between the two parties. The contractor can then seek payment for the work performed, even though there was no explicit agreement.

Another example is when a person receives medical treatment in an emergency situation and is unable to consent to the treatment. The law may imply a contract between the patient and the healthcare provider, allowing the provider to seek payment for the services rendered.

Overall, an implied-in-law contract is a legal concept that allows for the enforcement of obligations and duties between parties, even when there is no explicit agreement in place.
