• Resumen

  • This article examines the unresolved issue in the doctrine of consideration within varied contracts following the UK Supreme Court’s cautious comments in MWB v Rock. The article provides a brief overview of how consideration in varied contracts has developed over time since Foakes v Beer . It then suggests why the practical benefit analysis in Williams v Roffey is not a fait accompli. The central argument is that Foakes v Beer should not be overruled for being a commercially irrational decision, and that there are still good reasons for favouring its orthodoxy.
