The view urged by defendant and supported by the weight of authority draws no distinction between a three-party case where the new promise to pay additional compensation comes from a stranger to the original contract and a two-party case where that promise comes from the original promisor. There is an insufficiency of consideration, the courts adhering to the prevailing view say, since the performance or promise to perform does not involve a detriment to the promisee.  2, fiche 4, Anglais, - insufficiency%20of%20consideration

The general rule is that a promise to perform an existing duty is no consideration, at least when the promise is made by a party to a pre-existing contract, when it is made to the promisee under that contract, and it is to do no more than the promisor is bound to do under that contract. The rule expresses the concept that the new promise, indistinguishable from the old, is an illusory consideration.  2, fiche 5, Anglais, - illusory%20consideration

However, in circumstances where the person making the promise never intends to perform, and where that knowingly false promise is made as part of a scheme to defraud, then the promise may give rise to a promissory fraud claim.  3, fiche 8, Anglais, - promissory%20fraud
