Contract Validity Based on Prior Performance and Consideration
Suisse · Canton de Genève (CH-GE)
Synthèse Legislator
Généré par l'IAThe dispute arose concerning the validity of a contract based on a prior agreement, where one party claimed the subsequent agreement was unsupported by consideration because the subject matter of the prior agreement had been substantially performed before the second contract was executed. The court reasoned that although the prior performance was relevant, the key issue was whether the parties intended the second agreement to be supported by a new consideration or if it was merely a continuation of the prior arrangement, ultimately holding that the second contract lacked valid consideration because the obligations undertaken were already substantially fulfilled, rendering the agreement unenforceable.
