A quick definition of quasi ex delicto:

Term: QUASI EX DELICTO

Definition: Quasi ex delicto means something that appears to be a result of a wrongdoing, even though it may not be an actual offense. This term is often used in historical legal contexts to describe situations where someone may be held responsible for damages or losses that were caused unintentionally or indirectly. Essentially, it means that someone is being held accountable for something that they didn't necessarily do on purpose, but that still had negative consequences for others.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Quasi ex delicto is a Latin term that means "arising as if from delict." It refers to a situation where someone is held responsible for damages or losses even though they did not commit a specific wrongful act. Instead, the responsibility arises from a legal obligation or duty that they failed to fulfill.

Example: A common example of quasi ex delicto is when a property owner is held responsible for injuries that occur on their property, even if they did not cause the injury themselves. For instance, if someone slips and falls on a wet floor in a store, the store owner may be held liable for the injuries, even if they did not intentionally cause the spill. This is because the store owner had a duty to maintain a safe environment for customers, and they failed to fulfill that duty.

Another example of quasi ex delicto is when a company is held responsible for environmental damage caused by their operations, even if they did not intend to cause harm. In this case, the company had a duty to take reasonable steps to prevent environmental damage, and they failed to fulfill that duty.

These examples illustrate how quasi ex delicto can hold someone responsible for damages or losses that arise from a legal duty or obligation, even if they did not commit a specific wrongful act.
