What is Quantum Meruit? | Interfoto v Stiletto Explained

Ever done work without a clear contract and wondered if you're still entitled to payment? In this video, we break down the legal concept of quantum meruit — Latin for “as much as deserved” — and explore how it applies when there’s no formal agreement in place.

Join us as we explain this principle using the case Interfoto Picture Library Ltd v Stiletto Visual Programmes Ltd [1989], where the court tackled whether an unusually high fee could be enforced, and how quantum meruit was used to ensure fair compensation instead.
