Resumo de Recurso

Consideration
  1. Exchange of promises
    1. A contract is only legally enforceable if it contains 'consideration'
      1. Exchange of values: essentially it refers to what one party is giving or promising, in exchange for what is being given or promised from the other side.
    2. Benefit and Detriment
      1. Consideration requires benefit and detriment. CURRIE V MISA
        1. What is provided by way of consideration should be a benefit to the person receiving it, or a detriment to the person giving it.
          1. Benefit to one party, or detriment to the other will be enough.
      2. Consideration is required in 2 circumstances:
        1. 1. Forming a contract
          1. 2. Where the parties seek to vary or alter an existing contact.
          2. Consideration principles:
            1. 1. Consideration must be sufficient but not adequate
              1. 'Sufficient' - Whether what is being offered is recognised as sufficient in law.
                1. 'Adequate' - Something which is of equal value to the thing given in exchange.
                2. 2.Consideration must move from the promisee (the recipient).
                  1. 3. Consideration may be executory or exectued, but not past.
                    1. Consideration is said to be 'executory' when it is present in an exchange of promises and 'executed' when it is a promise in return of an act.
