Although agency is a consensual relationship, resulting from agreement between the parties that one should act as agent for the other, it does not follow that all such agreements are strictly contractual, manifesting all the features of the common law contract. An agency may be gratuitous. If so, it is suggested, it is not truly contractual. Admittedly, the main difference between purely consensual and contractual agency lies in the absence or presence of consideration, in the form of remuneration of the agent of what he undertakes to do.  1, fiche 1, Anglais, - consensual%20agency

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, fiche 2, Anglais, - consideration

There is probably no rigid distinction between paid and gratuitous agents for this purpose. The fact that the agent is paid is taken into consideration, along with other circumstances, in determining the degree of the care and skill to be expected of him; but even a gratuitous agent may be liable in tort for acting negligently.  1, fiche 4, Anglais, - gratuitous%20agent

Such a promise is known as a "gratuitous promise. "Gratuitous promises are said to be "unenforceable for lack of consideration. "  2, fiche 5, Anglais, - gratuitous%20promise
