A quick definition of obligatio quasi ex delicto:

OBLIGATIO QUASI EX DELICTO: This is a legal term from Roman law that refers to an obligation that arises from a wrongdoing against someone's person or property. It is a type of obligation that can be enforced in court, even though it is not a contractual obligation. It is similar to a tort, which is a civil wrong that causes harm to someone.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Obligatio quasi ex delicto is a legal term in Roman law that refers to an obligation arising from a wrong that is not covered by an obligatio ex delicto but that nonetheless creates liability.

Example: Suppose a person accidentally damages someone else's property while trying to fix their own. In this case, the person may be liable for the damages caused, even though they did not intend to cause harm. This liability is an example of an obligatio quasi ex delicto.

This example illustrates how an obligation can arise from a wrong that is not intentional but still creates liability. The person who caused the damage is responsible for compensating the other party for the harm caused, even though they did not mean to cause it.
