past consideration
- An act or object that was already provided and cannot be used as a motivation for further promises or actions from the other party, essentially lacking the element of exchange required for true consideration
- The contract was declared unenforceable because the claim was based on past consideration.
- The lawyer advised that the past consideration wouldn't adequately support a valid contract.
- The judge ruled that the deed to the property was not effective due to the absence of a present or future consideration, only a past consideration.
