Abstract
This article explores the Restatement (Second) of Contracts with the expanded reporter’s notes. In particular, the author examines the note to section 19, “Conduct as Manifestation of Assent.” The note is problematic in the language of “contracts inferred from fact” and “contracts implied in fact.” The problem is a lack of conceptual clarity about quasi-contracts; moreover, the note to section 19 only adds an incorrect point of “clarification” that unnecessarily risks obfuscation.
Keywords: Contracts, Section 19, inferred from fact, implied from fact
