A and B Are Neighbours

question 14

True/False

A and B are neighbours. Before A left on a holiday, he asked B to "keep an eye on his house." While A was on holidays, B noticed that A's lawn was in need of cutting and proceeded to cut the lawn. On A's return from his holiday, B demanded $10 for cutting the lawn. If B was entitled to claim quantum meruit, and the regular price charged by persons who mow lawns in that area was $10, B would probably be awarded $10 by the court.
