Document Summary
Privy of contract - can receive benefit of contract, but cannot have a contractual obligation: a b c. If a pays b and b doesn"t do it, a can sue b but c cannot sue b. What is consideration: the thing of value that is exchanged makes the promise binding in contract law, necessary to prove if one expects the courts to enforce the promises made, ex. I didn"t do it yet and you didn"t pay me yet. to drive on the right side of the road: e. g. ) my promise to look after my own child. Could be argued that the state / court insistence on something of value is an imposition of a judgment on activity, which makes it more like tort law. However, courts will not make a determination as to whether the two parties receive something of equal value.
