Answer 1

Answer:

Quasi-contract

Explanation:

Based on what transpired between Alison and her neighbor in which the neighbor was told to pay for the landscaping service that was rendered to him/her because the contract falls under the category of QUASI- CONTRACT.

QUASI- CONTRACT is a type of contract that enables a party from unjustly or unfairly benefiting from another party despite no mutual agreement or contract exists between the two parties which is why QUASI- CONTRACT is often used in the Court of law to help prevent injustice from one party to another party, just like in the case of Alison and her neighbor in which we were told that the neighbor knew that the landscaping company was mistakenly mowing the wrong lawn.
