A orders a pizza from Dominos. The Dominos delivery person accidentally delivers it to C. C eats it. Is C obliged to pay Dominos for pizza?

Select one answer
Answer and explanation

Correct answer C

C must compensate the supplier after treating the mistakenly delivered pizza as his own and eating it. Section 70 illustrates this rule with a tradesman who mistakenly leaves goods at another person's house and the recipient appropriates them. The obligation arises from retaining a non-gratuitous benefit, even though C did not place the original order.
