quantum valebant

quantum valebant (kwon-t[schwa]m v[schwa]-lee-bant or -b[schwa]nt). [Latin “as much as they were worth”]

1. The reasonable value of goods and materials.

2. At common law, a count in an assumpsit action to recover payment for goods sold and delivered to another. • Quantum valebant — although less common than quantum meruit — is still used today as an equitable remedy to provide restitution for another’s unjust enrichment. [Cases: Implied and Constructive Contracts 31. C.J.S. Implied and Constructive Contracts § 25.]
