Implied Contract

An implied contract occurs based on the conduct of parties involved (VerSteeg 24). The

agreement is said to materialize based on parties' behaviors to it though not written or spoken.

The contract is, however, legal. A good example exists where a customer purchases a product or

a service. The customer presumes the product to work as expected or to receive the same service

he receives elsewhere.

An implied contract exists in two ways; implied in fact and implied in law. Implied in

fact contracts create an obligation between the parties based on the situation (VerSteeg 25).

However, in an implied in law contracts, the law imposes an individual's responsibility to uphold

the contract's obligation and even charge the agreement against the individual's will. There is a

need for courts stepping in to impose the deal as one party would unfairly enrich himself by

another behavior.

Contract one

The Contract involves the Game of HORSE, where every time we pray and I win,

LeBron Jones gives me $100. However, this time around, I lost control during the game and

ended up shattering my femur and becoming unconscious. LeBron takes me to the hospital by an

ambulance, and am given a bill of $26,543 after treatment.

Replies to contract one between Yourself and Mr. LeBron

 Surname 2

I agree with you; there are several implied contract arising from the scenario. The first

implied contract is between Mr. LeBron and Yourself. Therefore, Mr. LeBron owes you $100

every time you win. However, the contract between Mr. LeBron and me cannot be enforced in

law. Agreements by way of betting are void, and no suit can be placed on the game result or

uncertain event on which betting is made.

Replies to contract one between yourself and the hospital

I also appreciate your in-depth analysis by highlight the second quasi-contract in the

scenario. There is implied in law contract between the patient and the hospital (VerSteeg 24).

Therefore, you and not Mr. LeBron, owe $26,543 to the hospital for treatment and ambulance.

In sports, every participant is deemed to have assumed risks involved, and therefore Mr. LeBron

owes no duty to protect against yourself (VerSteeg 11). The contract between the hospital and

yourself can be legally enforced. Courts use quasi-contract to impose responsibility between

parties where one party can enrich himself unjustly, and therefore restitution must be paid for

services provided.

An additional example of implied contract

 Surname 3

Another example of implied contract in my life is where a neighbor kid mows my lawn,

and every time he does it, I pay him $20. If I don’t pay him for cutting for a few weeks, he can

bill me for the weeks I did not pay him, as we have entered into an implied contract. Usually, the

law will be in favor of the child and must be compensated for days worked.

Contract two

My brother cut my son Sean's hair for the first time, and I paid him $20. The next 3-4

times that he cut his hair, I also paid him $20 each time, although the was never an agreement for

payment. Technically, he continues to cut my son's hair, but I refuse because there was no

agreement between us.

Replies to contract two between yourself and your brother cutting your son's hair

There is indeed implied, in fact contract that exists between your brother and yourself.

You owe him the lump sum of the times he cut your son's hair without pay. The agreement is

enforceable in law even though there are no express terms, your actions of paying for the

services initially amounts to an implied contract. More so, you continued to welcome the cutting

services from your brother without stopping them.
