A creditor may forbear without expressly promising to do so.

A bank to which L22, 000 is owed is virtually certain to take steps to enforce its claim, but a dissatisfied purchaser of land is much less certain to take proceedings for rescission. It may, therefore, be quite reasonable to say that mere forbearance will amount to consideration in relation to the former type of claim, but that a promise to forbear is necessary where it is problematical whether the claim will ever be enforced at all. A promise to forbear is also, of course, necessary where that is what the debtor bargains for.  1, record 3, English, - mere%20forbearance

[Natural right of property] is an expression often used to describe a right that is one of the ordinary and inseparable incidents of ownership, though its exercise requires an adjacent owner to forbear from doing something on his own land that otherwise he would be free to do. The epithet "natural" serves to distinguish such right from easements, which do not automatically accompany ownership but must be acquired by grant, either actual, implied or presumed.(Cheshire, 12th ed., p. 526).  1, record 8, English, - natural%20right%20of%20property
