  • Let's talk about the weird little doctrine of consideration, which forces us to make agreements that benefit each other.
    Note: in practice, the doctrine operates weirdly, but stay tuned for the case summary of Williams v Roffey Brothers for more! ^^

    Thank you. Law school tries to "hide the ball." This is the first time I've gotten a straight forward explanation of the concept of consideration.

    So consideration is basically equal and fair exchange for both parties, within a contractual agreement. I guess consider if the deal is a fair and good one for both parties, right?

  • @kolehollis5852

    What if it's a promise in exchange for a promise? There is no direct exchange of money involved but let's say you are promising to do something and the other party is making a promise to do something as well?

    Wanna ask whos the third party benefited from the marriage case. Anyone knows it?@@

    • @______6
      @______6 Год назад

      The case established the principle that consideration can be provided by a third party at the promisor's request and for the promisor's benefit. Consideration can move from a third party, not just the promisee if it fulfils the above requirements .(n this case, it was because the father died before the marriage occured)

    Chukwudi, a final year law student began selling his properties
    in January 2015 in the excitement
    of leaving school. He sold his HP
    Laptop computer to Emeka for N80,
    000 . Emeka paid N50,000 instantly
    and promised to pay the balance N30,
    000 in April 2015. Early in March
    2015, Chukwudi damaged his friend’
    s car and could not raise money to
    effect the repairs. He went to Emeke
    with a promise that if Emeka could
    pay N15,000 before mid-March he
    would forfeit the balance. Emeka
    paid promptly. Now Chukwudi is in
    need of money to travel home and
    he is pestering Emeka for the balance of N15,000 . You are representing Emeka in the LAWSA Jural
    Court where the case is being heard.
    State the position of the law and
    write out your argument on his
    behalf.
