Question

When Harriet went away for the summer, Landry, a house painter, painted her house. He had a contract to paint a neighbor’s house but painted Harriet’s house by mistake. When Harriet returned from vacation, Landry billed her for $3,100, which was a fair price for the work. She refused to pay. Landry claimed that she had a quasi-contractual liability for that amount. Was he correct?

Answer 1

No, Because Harriet had no knowledge of the painting for her house, While there was an added benefit. There is no quasi-contract at all.
