In the world of business, sometimes work begins before all the formalities are in place. But what happens if you have put in time, effort, and resources, and there’s no written contract? Do you lose your right to be paid? Not necessarily. This is where the legal principle of Quantum Meruit comes in.
Quantum Meruit is a Latin phrase that translates to “as much as he has earned.” This principle ensures that even if there is no formal contract, you are still entitled to fair compensation for the work or services you've provided.
Why Is Quantum Meruit Important?
Fair Compensation: When work has been done but no contract exists, Quantum Meruit protects your right to be paid for the value of your effort. It ensures that your time and resources don’t go to waste.
No Written Agreement? No Problem: Even without a formal contract, you can rely on this principle to seek payment based on the reasonable value of the services or goods you have provided.
Justice and Fairness: Quantum Meruit is about ensuring fairness in business relationships, preventing one party from unjustly benefiting at the expense of another.
