Sorry Kenzie, you must behave as ...

Consideration under English law is anything of value (an item or service), which each party to a legally-binding contract must agree to exchange if the contract is to be valid. If only one party offers consideration then the agreement is not a contract.

Consideration in its traditional form in English law usually is expressed as the requirement that for parties to be able to enforce a promise, they must have given some quid pro quo for it: something must be given or promised in exchange or return for the promise.

At English law, a contract must be "met with" or "supported by" consideration to be enforceable; also, only a person who has provided consideration can enforce a contract. In other words, if a contract contains promises (called "gratuitous promises") that are unsupported by consideration, then the contract is void ab initio. Students new to the study of contract law sometimes find the doctrine of consideration baffling.

Ice promises to let you stay if you behave, but in exchange he has a wide choice of ice's creams ... including American, Italian and many many others

Italian is a specialty right now.

Although I must say, having studied contract and tort at university (Llb) level, I'm impressed with the summation of consideration Di Atribe. What about if a snail is found in my ice cream though? Is liability that of the the moderators for not removing it prior to a pregnant woman seeing it and suffer miscarriage? Or that of the Administrators who are responsible for said moderators? Or is Dr. Anderson himself responsible for any snail that might inadvertently find itself here and cause distress and ultimately claim on liability?

It's a tricky one eh? The law usually is.

These are not questions of Contract, these are questions of Torte: as in, "Let them eat Torte!"

Yes Beets. I did say "Although I must say, having studied contract and tort at university (Llb) level". Maybe you should read before deciding what the question is (which you don't, since I did). Tort is a legal term in common law, torte is off topic.

That is one of the issues of tort ... what is the question being asked and what are the responsibilities associated.

The lawyers involved on each side make sure different questions are addressed, and the judgement is open to many interpretations.

Still, I will take the Italian, with the slug, as it provides a sufficient level of additional protein.

Having consumed it I will then sit down and consider ....

Oh, and this is a legal matter of tort if you decide yo take up damages affecting the sighting of snail in ice cream - it is not a matter of contract, to decide on liability upon damages.

My point exactly: as little with the topic of an "ice cream parlor" as contract law.

Well, not quite as little: "Let them eat cake" is a comment upon prevailing judicial policy, and analyzing judicial policy is also an aspect of reading law.

But all have little or nothing to do with ice cream. ;)
