A stranger to consideration who is a party to the contract

(i) Comment. The statement is correct. Under section 2(d) the consideration may be furnished by the promisee or any other person, so the consideration need not move from the promisee himself; a person who is a party to the contract may sue on it even though the consideration came from someone else. An old lady gifted her property to her daughter with a direction to pay an annuity to the maternal uncle, and the daughter agreed in writing with the uncle to pay it; when she did not, the uncle recovered it, though the consideration had moved from his sister. This is the leading case of Chinnaya v. Ramayya, which settled that consideration may move from a third party. What a stranger to the contract cannot do is sue on it.
