Everything about Implied In Fact Contract totally explained
In
United States law, an
implied-in-fact contract (a form of
implied contract) is a contract agreed by non-verbal conduct, rather than by explicit words. The defined this in its decision
Baltimore & Ohio R. Co. v. United States, 261 U.S. 592 (
1923).. That decision described "an agreement 'implied in fact'" as "founded upon a meeting of minds, which, although not embodied in an express contract, is inferred, as a fact, from conduct of the parties showing, in the light of the surrounding circumstances, their tacit understanding."
Such contracts are formed when one party accepts something of value knowing that the other party expects compensation. For example by visiting a doctor, a patient agrees to pay a fair price for the service. If he refuses to pay after being examined, he's breached a contract implied in fact.
Generally, an implied contract has the same legal force as an express contract. However, it may be more difficult to prove the existence and terms of an implied contract should a dispute arise. In some jurisdictions, contracts involving
real estate may not be created on an implied-in-fact basis.
