Abstract

This chapter discusses consideration as a requirement for an agreement to be treated as a legally binding contract. Consideration is the price one party pays for the other party’s promise or performance. The doctrine of consideration provides, in essence, that a price of some sort must be paid if an agreement is to be enforceable as a contract. This chapter begins with an analysis of the first requirement imposed by the doctrine of consideration: that the act, forbearance, promise, or commodity given in exchange for the promise should be something of value. It then examines the three different conceptual approaches used in the legal understanding of value based on the idea of economic value, benefit and detriment, and practical benefit. It also describes the ingredients of exchange and includes case in depth boxes that cover the most influential and important cases pertaining to consideration.
3.考虑
本章讨论对价作为协议被视为具有法律约束力的合同的必要条件。对价是一方为另一方的承诺或履行所支付的价格。对价原则实质上规定,如果一项协议要作为合同可执行,就必须支付某种价格。本章首先分析对价原则提出的第一个要求:作为对价交换的行为、容忍、承诺或商品必须是有价值的东西。然后,它检查了基于经济价值,利益和损害以及实际利益的思想的价值的法律理解中使用的三种不同的概念方法。它还描述了交流的组成部分,并包括涵盖与审议有关的最具影响力和最重要的案例的深入案例框。
