| 单词 | Inadequacy of consideration |
| 释义 | 代價不足 Consideration which is not commensurate in value to the promise which it supports. As a general rule, given that merely nominal consideration may amount to sufficient consideration, courts do not concern themselves with the adequacy of consideration (Gaumont-British Picture Corp Ltd v Alexander [1936] 2 All ER 1686), but the adequacy of consideration may be relevant to issues of economic duress, mistake, fraud (Cole v Milsome [1951] 1 All ER 311), undue influence or unconscionability. No Purchase, made bona fide and without fraud, of any interest in property of any kind with Hong Kong is liable to be opened or set aside merely on the ground of undervalue: Conveyancing and Property Ordinance (Cap 219) s 59. However, court’s jurisdiction to set aside or modify unconscionable bargains remains unaffected: Permanent Trustee Co of New South Wales Ltd v Bridgewater [1936] 3 All ER 501 (PC). See also Agreement; Consideration; Past consideration. 在價值上與其支持的承諾不相稱的代價。概括而言，考慮到純粹象徵式的代價可相當於充分的代價，因此法院不會關注代價是否充分（Gaumont-British Picture Corp Ltd v Alexander [1936] 2 All ER 1686）；但代價充分與否的問題，可能與下列問題有關：經濟威迫、錯誤、欺詐（Cole v Milsome [1951] 1 All ER 311）、不當影響或不合情理。凡真誠而無欺詐地購買在香港的任何種類財產的任何權益，不得單以定值過低為理由而就該項購買再作商議或將其撤銷：《物業轉易及財產條例》（第219章）第59條。但法院撤銷或修改不合情理買賣的司法管轄權不會受影響：Permanent Trustee Co of New South Wales Ltd v Bridgewater [1936] 3 All ER 501（樞密院）。另見 Agreement; Consideration; Past consideration。 |
