12.06.20 | Consideration Agreement Value

Contracts for which a term with no legal value is grouped with a clause of legal value generally remain applicable. The reciprocity of the counterparty is fundamental to contract law. A party that already has a legal obligation to provide money, purpose, service or leniency is not respected if it merely promises to fulfill that obligation. [32] [33] [34] This legal obligation may arise from the law or obligation arising from a previous contract. Reflecting means that each party concerned must take some form of action to contribute to the validity of the treaty – or a “change of position” – to participate in and benefit from the treaty. A change of position is also called a “good deal-for-exchange,” where the legal definition of consideration comes from. However, some courts in the United States may challenge an unbilled, worthless consideration or consideration. Since then, some courts have thought it looked like it. Since contractual disputes are generally settled in state courts, some state courts have found that the mere provision of one dollar to another is not a sufficient legal obligation and therefore no legal consideration is contemplated for such transactions and, therefore, no contract is concluded.

However, this is a minority position. [31] There are a number of general questions as to whether there is a consideration in a contract: the same applies if the consideration is a benefit for which the parties had previously entered into a contract. For example, A agrees to paint B`s house for $500, but halfway through work, A B says it won`t end unless B increases the payment to $750. If B agrees and A completes the work, B will still only have to pay the original $500, because A already had a contractual obligation to paint the house for that amount. In the United States, some contracts allow parties to hand over nominal amounts of only $1. This is most often the case for contracts that do not involve money in the counterparty. Other forms of counterparty can be stock of sharesThony stock? A person holding shares in a company is called a shareholder and has the right to claim a portion of the company`s residual assets and income (if the company is dissolved). The terms “equities,” “equities” and “equity” are used interchangeably. company, assets or other accepted assets. However, some U.S. courts may not be available to such contracts or contracts that have virtually no monetary component. Some courts have held that such a practice is not a sufficient legal obligation and therefore does not constitute a valid contract.

As there is no consideration for a party, there is no contract. Systems based on Roman law (including Germany [22] and Scotland) do not need to be examined and some commentators feel that they are not necessary and have proposed abandoning the doctrine of reflection[23] and estoppel to replace it as the basis of the treaties. [24] However, legislation, not judicial development, was seen as the only way to eliminate this entrenched doctrine. Lord Justice Denning said he was famous: “The doctrine of consideration is too firmly anchored to be toppled by a side wind.” [25] Although we have tried to present the basics of the counterparty here in contracts, it can be very complex. Long legal proceedings and writings are plentiful about what the counterparty is.
