VALUABLE CONSIDERATION [46 records]

Record 1 2024-04-03

English

Subject field(s)
  • Phraseology
  • Law of Contracts (common law)
OBS

The expression "adequate valuable consideration" in paragraph(1)(c) means a consideration of fair and reasonable money value with relation to that of the property conveyed, assigned or transferred, and in paragraph(1)(d) means a consideration of fair and reasonable money value with relation to the known or reasonably to be anticipated benefits of the contract, dealing or transaction.

French

  • Droit des contrats (common law)
OBS

L'expression «contrepartie valable et suffisante» à l'alinéa 1(1)c) signifie une contre-prestation ayant une valeur en argent juste et raisonnable par rapport à celle des biens transmis, cédés ou transportés, et, à l'alinéa (1)d), signifie une contre-prestation ayant une valeur en argent juste et raisonnable par rapport aux bénéfices connus ou raisonnablement présumés du contrat, du marché ou de la transaction.

OBS

«Une cause ou considération valable» [...] Presque chaque mot de ce bijou est un solécisme. [...] Voici une dégradation par rapport au texte de 1890 qui, lui, portait «de valeur». «Valable» reflète moins «valeur» que «validité» : cet adjectif traduit plutôt le concept d'equity de «good consideration», c'est-à-dire «cause valable», par opposition au concept de la law, qui exige une contrepartie ayant une valeur au moins pour le débiteur de la prestation réciproque.

OBS

Value may consist of spiritual or aesthetic qualities, or in utility in use, or in the amount of money or other goods which could be obtained in exchange for the thing in question. In legal contexts, the last is the sense usually relevant, in such phrases as "holder for value" or "purchaser for value," in each of which "value" means "having paid a reasonable equivalent in money."

Good consideration is such as that of blood, or of natural love and affection, being founded on motives of generosity, prudence, and natural duty; hence "good" consideration is sometimes opposed to "valuable" consideration, i. e., one by which some benefit accrues to the promisor or some detriment to the promisee. The only purpose for which a good consideration in this sense was effectual was to support a covenant to stand seised to uses and rebut the presumption of a resulting trust on a voluntary conveyance.(Jowitt, p. 424-425)

In Ontario, the ["Land Titles] Act"specifically provides that a transfer to a volunteer is subject to the unregistered interests that the donor was subject to but upon registered dealings by the transferee, the transfer is to have the same effect as if made for valuable consideration. The other jurisdictions do not have similar provisions and hence it would appear that in those jurisdictions a voluntary transferee receives the same protection from the legislation as a transferee for valuable consideration.(Anger and Honsberger, 2nd ed., 1985, p. 1616).

Volunteers comprise donees and beneficiaries(whether devisees or persons entitled to residue or on intestacy) of estates of deceased persons, as well as beneficiaries under settlements made "inter vivos", and also persons in whom property is vested in a representative capacity without consideration being given, for example, where a new trustee is appointed or property vests in a personal capacity.(A Working Paper of the Law Reform Commission on a Bill in Respect of an Act to Reform and Consolidate the Real Property Acts of Queensland, p. 66).

OBS

A valuable consideration may be money or money's worth; and in this connection ’valuable’ means real, as distinguished from a consideration that is merely illusory or nominal; but it does not mean equivalent.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Droit des contrats (common law)
OBS

«Une cause ou considération valable» [...] Presque chaque mot de ce bijou est un solécisme. [...] Voici une dégradation par rapport au texte de 1890 qui, lui, portait «de valeur». «Valable» reflète moins «valeur» que «validité» : cet adjectif traduit plutôt le concept d'«equity» de «good consideration», c'est-à-dire «cause valable», par opposition au concept de la « law », qui exige une contrepartie ayant une valeur au moins pour le débiteur de la prestation réciproque.

  • Property Law (common law)
CONT

Proper recordation imparts constructive notice to the world of the existence of the recorded document and its contents. It protects both innocent purchasers for value who act in ignorance of an unrecorded instrument and the grantee in the event that the deed is altered or lost. Any conveyance not properly recorded is generally void as against any subsequent purchaser, lessee, or mortgagee in good faith and for a valuable consideration who, without having actual notice of the unrecorded conveyance, records his or her subsequent interest in the property.(Reilly, 2nd ed., 1982, p. 396).
