An obligation is called a juridical necessity because it involves legal aspects to give, do, or not do something. Quasi-contracts are types of obligations that are not based on agreement but on equity and justice. They include supply of necessities, payment by an interested person, obligation to pay for non-gratuitous acts, and responsibilities of a finder of goods. Good faith means having a sincere intention to be fair, open, and honest regardless of outcome. A crime involves malice while a quasi-delict is an act without malice that causes injury through fault, negligence, or imprudence not legally excusable.
