Implied Contractual Obligations Clarified

Summary

An implied contract in California can arise when services are requested and performed with the expectation of compensation, and the client was informed about the services beforehand. If a reasonable person in the clients position would understand that payment is expected, courts often find an implied contract. In cases where services are necessary to fulfill a requested task, and the client was informed, courts may uphold an implied contract. For specific case references, consulting a local attorney or legal database would be beneficial.
