Sufficient Consideration in UK Law
-
Ward v Byham
“
I approach the case therefore on the footing that the mother, in looking after the child, is only doing what she is legally bound to do. Even so, I think that there was sufficient consideration to support the promise. I have always thought that a promise to perform an existing duty, or the performance of it, should be regarded as good consideration, because it is a benefit to the person to whom it is given.

Osenton (Charles) & Company v Johnston
“
In other words, appellate authorities ought not to reverse the Order merely because they would themselves have exercised the original discretion, had it attached to them, in a different way. But if the appellate tribunal reaches the clear conclusion that there has been a wrongful exercise of discretion in that no weight, or no sufficient weight, has been given to relevant considerations such as those urged before us by the Appellant, then the reversal of the Order on appeal may be justified.

Sharma and another v Simposh Ltd
“
The confusion is caused by the fact that the term "consideration", when used in the phrase "total failure of consideration" as a reason for restitution, does not mean quite the same thing as it does when considering whether there is sufficient "consideration" to support the formation of a valid contract.

Airbus Industrie GIE v Patel
“
I approach the matter as follows. As a general rule, before an anti-suit injunction can properly be granted by an English court to restrain a person from pursuing proceedings in a foreign jurisdiction in cases of the kind under consideration in the present case, comity requires that the English forum should have a sufficient interest in, or connection with, the matter in question to justify the indirect interference with the foreign court which an anti-suit injunction entails.

Rover International Ltd v Cannon Film Sales Ltd
“
The question whether there has been a total failure of consideration is not answered by considering whether there was any consideration sufficient to support a contract or purported contract. The test is whether or not the party claiming total failure of consideration has in fact received. any part of the benefit bargained for under the contract or purported contract.

“
An appellate judge may conclude that the trial judge's conclusion on proportionality was (i) the only possible view, (ii) a view which she considers was right, (iii) a view on which she has doubts, but on balance considers was right, (iv) a view which she cannot say was right or wrong, (v) a view on which she has doubts, but on balance considers was wrong, (vi) a view which she considers was wrong, or (vii) a view which is unsupportable.

Hedley Byrne & Company Ltd v Heller & Partners Ltd
“
Furthermore, if in a sphere in which a person is so placed that others could reasonably rely upon his judgment or his skill or upon his ability to make careful inquiry, a person takes it upon himself to give information or advice to, or allows his information or advice to be passed on to, another person who, as he knows or should know, will place reliance upon it, then a duty of care will arise.
