Sozlesme Benzeri / Vekaletsiz Is Gorme (Quasi-Contract)
İngilizce: quasi-contract
Türkçe Tanım
Taraflarin iradesine dayanan gercek bir sozlesme bulunmamasina ragmen, bir tarafin digerinin aleyhine haksiz bicimde zenginlesmesini onlemek uzere hukukun kurdugu, sozlesme benzeri yukumluluk iliskisidir; temeli sebepsiz zenginlesme ve vekaletsiz is gorme kurumlaridir. Bu kavramin proje finansmanindaki degeri, imzali sozlesmenin kapsamadigi ara donemlerde ortaya cikar; nitekim finansal kapanistan once baslayan hazirlik islerinin bedeli, henuz bir EPC sozlesmesi imzalanmamissa, cogu jurisdiction'da ancak quasi-contract mantigiyla talep edilebilir hale gelir.
English Definition
A contract-like obligation the law imposes, in the absence of a genuine agreement resting on the parties' will, to prevent one party from being unjustly enriched at another's expense; its foundations lie in unjust enrichment and negotiorum gestio. Its value in project finance emerges in the interim periods a signed contract does not cover, since the cost of early works commenced before financial close, where no EPC contract has yet been executed, becomes recoverable in many jurisdictions only through quasi-contract reasoning.
