Understanding Contractual Consideration

Summary

Consideration in contract law refers to the exchange of something of value between parties, making a contract enforceable. It can be money, goods, services, or a promise. For a contract to be valid, it generally requires both consideration and the intention to create legal relations. A monetary allowance without reciprocal action is not considered consideration. Gifts are not considered consideration as they lack an exchange of value. In Queensland, both consideration and intention are necessary for a contract to be enforceable.

In contract law, a gift is generally not considered **** because it doesn't involve an exchange of value between parties. A gift is given freely without expecting anything in return, so it doesn't fulfill the requirement of **** necessary for a contract to be enforceable.
