Courts have used the word "consideration" with many different meanings. It is often used merely to express the legal conclusion that a promise is enforceable. Historically, its primary meaning may have been that the conditions were met under which an action of assumpsit(an early form of contract action) would lie. It was also used as the equivalent of the "quid pro quo" required in an action of debt. A seal, it has been said, imports a consideration, although the law was clear that no element of bargain was necessary to enforcement of a promise under seal. On the other hand, consideration has sometimes been used to refer to almost any reason asserted for enforcing a promise, even though the reason was insufficient(as in) promises in consideration of love and affection, illegal consideration, past consideration, and consideration furnished by reliance on a gratuitous promise where in fact there has been no consideration at all.(Yogis, 1983, p. 47).  2, record 27, English, - consideration

A distinction must be made between misrepresentations of fact and those relating to law. Since everyone is supposed to know the law, there can be no misrepresentations as to the state of the law.

Under the present law if the accused takes the stand in his own defence he can be questioned about any previous convictions. Since such evidence si very prejudicial, many accused persons understandably choose not to take the stand. Under those circumstances, comment by the judge or prosecution about the accused's not taking the stand would be unfair. Generally, section 64(2) would permit the accused to take the stand without fear that his previous convictions would become known to the trier of fact.  1, record 33, English, - take%20the%20stand

Le droit actuel permet d'interroger au sujet de son casier judiciaire le prévenu qui rend témoignage au cours de sa défense. En raison du tort que cette preuve risque de leur occasionner, nombre d'accusés préfèrent ne pas témoigner, ce qui se comprend sans peine. Il serait injuste dans ce cas, de permettre au juge ou à la poursuite de commenter leur abstention de rendre témoignage. Or, l'article 64(2) du présent Code reconnaît au prévenu le droit de déposer au cours de sa défense, sans avoir à craindre que l'arbitre des faits ne soit mis au courant de ses condamantions antérieures.  1, record 33, French, - rendre%20t%C3%A9moignage
