Prompt Output Example:
‘Consideration’ in contract law refers to the value that is promised in exchange for a performance or promise of performance by another. It is the very reason why parties enter into a contract. Consideration may come in various forms, such as money, physical objects, services, promised actions, abstinence from a future action, and more.
It is an essential element for a contract to be enforceable because it ensures a sense of fairness and inducement. If a contract lacks consideration, one party could be bound to their promise while the other benefits without any obligation or detriment suffered. This is typically considered unfair. Hence, the existence of consideration ensures there is a ‘quid pro quo’ – something given or received for something else – making the contract binding and enforceable.
