During a sudden storm, a neighbor notices a fallen tree on Bruno’s property that threatens to topple onto a nearby house. Without Bruno’s knowledge or consent, the neighbor enters Bruno’s property, removes the immediate danger, and hires a contractor to shore up the site, paying 60,000 out of pocket. Bruno later returns and refuses to reimburse. (a) Identify the source of obligation that would bind Bruno to reimburse the neighbor. (b) State the essential elements of that source and distinguish it from the other sources of obligation. (c) Apply to the facts: Is the neighbor entitled to reimbursement? If yes, what expenses are recoverable and under what limits? If no, why not?
