Before you write
Read off the question and its marks
What the paper leaves open
The OR part prints no lead-in; it is read with the main part's instruction (state, with reasons, whether each statement is true or false). Marked as one question of 9 marks; answered here in 3 parts of 3 marks each (marks inferred).
Write it in this order
- 1 (ii) Verdict and reason 3 marks 6 min
Try it first. About 6 minutes for 3 marks. Write it out, then open the solution.
Solution
Hover or tap a marked figure, like 72,000, to see how it is made and where else it appears.
(ii)False Consideration need not be adequate: inadequacy of consideration is not relevant, so long as consideration is real and lawful. Where consent is given freely, the agreement is not void just because the consideration is inadequate, though inadequacy may be taken into account in deciding whether consent was free.
