Q

quantum meruit: Literally, "as much as he deserves". A doctrine that no one who benefits by the labour and materials of another should be unjustly enriched thereby; under those circumstances, the law implies a promise to pay a reasonable amount for the labour and materials furnished, even though a specific contract price may not have been agreed to.
