Agreements That Lack Consideration

Agreements That Lack Consideration

Preexisting Duty.

§   Promise to to what one already has a legal duty to do does not constitute legally sufficient consideration.

§   Exceptions:

          Unforeseen Difficulties.

          Recession and New Contract.

Past Consideration is no consideration because the bargained-for exchange element is missing.
