Question

Which statement does NOT accurately describe the application of contractual quantum meruit?

a The doctrine is based on the premise that a request to supply a good or service implies a corresponding promise to pay for those goods or services.

b The doctrine applies once the goods or services have actually been provided.

c The court will require the requesting party to pay only a "reasonable price" for the goods or services that were provided.

d The obligation on the party receiving the goods or services will be to pay whatever amount the supplier chooses to charge

Answer 1

Answer = correct option is D

Reason = contractual Quantum meruit means as much as earned or merited which means amount which is paid to be paid in proportion of work done which means supplier can only charge the amount for the proportion of the work done by him and not the whatever amount the supplier chooses to charge. Therefore, the statement "The obligation on the party receiving goods and services will be to pay whatever amount supplier chooses to charge " does not accurately describe the application of contractual Quantum meruit.
