The dispute centered on whether an agreement involving a property transfer was supported by consideration, specifically addressing whether a purported early termination fee, designated as a stipulated sum for a future event, constituted valid consideration or an unenforceable penalty. The court reasoned that the stipulation served a dual purpose: to secure performance of the underlying agreement and to act as liquidated damages upon breach; however, it found that the provision, when examined in the context of the actual transaction and the circumstances surrounding the agreement's formation, operated as an unenforceable penalty because the stipulated sum was disproportionate to the potential damages that could actually flow from the breach, thus failing the test for valid liquidated damages and rendering the agreement unsupported by bargained-for consideration for the early termination aspect.
