A violent hillside storm threatens a property owned by Ms. Lora; without Lora’s knowledge or consent, her neighbor Ken voluntarily intervenes to prevent damage to the property and potentially to adjacent properties. He hires a contractor and spends ₱21,450 to shore up a retaining wall and install drainage to divert runoff away from neighboring lots. After the crisis passes, Lora refuses to reimburse Ken. (a) Does Ken’s action constitute negotiorum gestio (Other Quasi-contracts)? (b) What amount is Lora obligated to reimburse Ken for, and on what basis? (c) If Lora later ratifies Ken’s acts, what effect does ratification have on Ken’s right to reimbursement?

Choose the Best Answer

Yes; it constitutes negotiorum gestio; the neighbor can only recover the amount actually spent; any future savings or improvements are not reimbursable. Yes; it constitutes negotiorum gestio; Lora must reimburse only the necessary expenses; reimbursement for useful expenses requires express or implied ratification, in which case the acts are treated as authorized retroactively. No; it does not constitute negotiorum gestio; the neighbor’s actions were not required to preserve the property and hence cannot be reimbursed. Yes; it constitutes negotiorum gestio; Lora must reimburse Ken for the actual necessary expenses incurred to preserve the property, and, if the acts were beneficial, for useful expenses as well; if Lora later ratifies Ken’s acts, the reimbursement becomes due retroactively as if Ken acted with Lora’s consent from the start.
