Homework in Law, ob and contracts
1.) What are the essential requisites of an obligation? Give an explanation to illustrate them.
Contract law - a contract is an agreement having a lawful object entered into voluntarily by two or more parties, each of whom intends to create one or more legal obligations between them.
Delict law - Delict (from lat. to fail, commit a fault) in civil law jurisdictions is a term for some kind of legal wrong, but its meaning is very different from one jurisdiction to another. Delict is not a legal term used in common law jurisdictions.
Quasi-contract law - (or implied-in-law contract or constructive contract) is a fictional contract created by courts for equitable, not contractual, purposes. A quasi-contract is not an actual contract, but is a legal substitute formed to impose equity between two parties. The concept of a quasi contract is that of a contract that should have been formed, even though in actuality it was not. It is used when a court finds it appropriate to create an obligation upon a non-contracting party to avoid injustice and to ensure fairness. It is invoked in circumstances and is connected with the concept of restitution.
Quasi-delict - a French legal term used in some civil law jurisdictions, encompassing the common law concept of negligence as the breach of a non-willful extra-contractual obligation to third parties.

2.) Why is obligation a judicial necessity?
“An obligation is a course of action that someone is required to take, whether legal or moral.”
Obligation is a judicial necessity because there is a meeting of the mind or mutual agreement between two parties. A contract could be a legal obligation. Thus, if an obligation is not met or a legal conflict arises the court itself the judicial entity intervenes to settle the dispute.
3.) May a person incur obligation even without entering into any contract? Explain.
Yes. A man can obtain an obligation without entering a contract. Because it could be

Accordingly, Miller describes a quasi-contract as a theory in law in which the court binds two parties into an agreement even though one does not exist. More importantly is set up to prevent one party from becoming enriched by taking advantage of the other party. (Miller. Breach and Remedies. Ch.15)…
