Quantum meruit

The remedy of quantum meruit derives from contracts "implied in fact." In these contracts, the parties have in fact entered into an agreement but without "sufficient clarity, so a fact finder must examine and interpret the parties' conduct to give definition to their unspoken agreement . . . . [in order to give] the effect which the parties . . . presumably would have agreed upon if, having in mind the possibility of the situation which has arisen, they had contracted expressly thereto." See Commerce Partnership 8098 Ltd. Partnership v. Equity Contracting Co., 695 So.2d 383, 385-86 (Fla. Dist. Ct. App. 1997) (en banc).
