| 单词 | Valuable consideration |
| 释义 | 有值代價 The giving, in good faith, of a right, forbearance, or benefit in return for the acquisition of a right, forbearance or benefit from another. Bills of exchange - Any consideration sufficient to support a simple contract; an antecedent debt or liability, whether the bill or note is payable on demand or at a future time: Bills of Exchange Ordinance (Cap 19) s 27(1). There is a presumption that valuable consideration has been given for a bill or note (The Wing On Bank Ltd v Tech-Craft Industries Ltd [1975] HKLR 533), and every party whose signature appears on a bill is prima facie deemed to have become a party thereto for value (Bills of Exchange Ordinance (Cap 19) s 30(1); Rio-Pack (Hong Kong) Ltd v Alfa Tungwah Industries [1987] 1 HKC 300). See also Bill of exchange; Consideration; Holder in due course. Contract - Consideration which the law accepts as being equivalent in value to the promise or act for which it is given. It may consist either in some right, interest, profit, or benefit accruing to the one party, or some forbearance, detriment, loss, or responsibility given, suffered, or undertaken by the other at his request: Hoven International Ltd v Mass Resources Development Ltd [1997] 1 HKC 38; Darton Ltd v Hong Kong Island Development Ltd [2001] 3 HKLRD 479, 4 HKC 575 (CA). A contract will be invalid unless it contains valuable consideration: Sum Wing Credits v Shun Yip Textiles [1988] HKC 405. Examples are: a compromise of a claim (Fullerton v Provincial Bank of Ireland [1903] AC 309 (HL)); a forbearance to sue (Li Shing Tin v Lau Mow Ling [1958] HKLR 1 (FC)); or marriage (Law Amendment and Reform (Consolidation) Ordinance (Cap 23) s 23).
