bargain theory of consideration
Consideration is a performance or return promise that is bargained for: sought by the promisor in exchange for his promise and given by the promisee in exchange for it (R.2d § 71). Benefit to the promisor is not required (Hamer); a condition of a gift is not consideration (Kirksey).
In SpanishEn español
teoría del intercambio (bargain) de la consideration
La consideration es una ejecución o promesa recíproca negociada: buscada por el promitente a cambio de su promesa y dada por el promisario a cambio de ella (R.2d § 71). No se requiere beneficio para el promitente (Hamer); la condición de un regalo no es consideration (Kirksey). México no exige nada parecido: consentimiento y objeto bastan (CCF art. 1794).
ExamplesEjemplos
- Abstaining from drink for $5,000 was bargained for; moving to collect a free house was not. Abstenerse de beber por $5,000 fue negociado; mudarse para recibir una casa gratis no.
