A transacting of business. Used in the civil law to denote an intervention in the affairs of another, during his absence, and without authority from him. The pei'son so interfering with the business or property of another is termed negotiornm gestor. As there is no contract, such person is entitled to no benefits to himself from his interference, not even compensation or recompense of any kind, except to have expenses reimbursed; but the civil law implies a quasi mandate in many cases, for the benefit of the other party, and holds the negotiorum gestor to a degree of care and diligence corresponding to that of a mandate in like circumstances.
