Negotiorum gestio

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The negotiorum gestio was a Roman legal institution in which an individual acted on behalf of another, without his asking and without remuneration. It was considered a part of officium (duty), for instance, to defend a friend's or neighbor's interests while the friend or neighbor was away.[1]
