Fentoluwa: *clears throat* i read sagay and fogam not cheshire. Misrepresentation is a false statement in the course of negotiation which induce a party to enter in to a contract. Are you saying a sort of misrepresentation occurred? Can you remember that when two parties are accustomed to dealing with each other verbal agreement is binding whether it is reduced to writing or not.

Actually the cheshire and fifoot test is contained in sagey check page 125-126. The reason why i asked if you were aware of this would be clearer once you have read those pages and also read the trietel test that follow it.

Fentoluwa: jury system is practised in the US. what we have in Nigeria is bench trials, the judge has the final say in any case brought before the court

gentlefada: consideration is actually very easy.
First of all, know that the issue of consideration does not arise when the contract is under seal(in a deed). Therefore, it is applicable to informal contracts(simple contracts) i.e. Contract in writing, spoken form, or by conduct. Examples of these kind of contracts are sales of goods, promise from someone to another etc.
Secondly, i think consideration is simply explained by using sales of goods. For instance, if you want something that a market woman has then you have to give the market woman something in return for what you want from her. That thing you are giving in return (in most cases money except in barter trade) is what is recognised as consideration.
Finally, and this is really important. There are some elements that constitute a valid consideration. One of the is sufficiency i.e. consideration does not need to be adequate to the receiver only sufficient and must be something of value to the receiver. There are other element but am sure u can find that in ur text.
Its a really interesting topic, you just have to law a good foundation in other to understand it.

I get ur point but i doubt if the jury system can function properly in Nigeria. In a country that is plaqued with corruption having a jury system would cripple the judical system.

Yahoo1: danum sine injuria tings

olire: hmmm, You hav a point there. But everyone in naija is corrupt, plus judge, in the case of one judge, you are just bribing one person. But bribing twelve people will be harder.

gentlefada: nice one. You noted that the judge can be easy to get to and that is true but trust me getting to 12 poor or middle class nigerians would be easier than getting to a judge with a reputation to protect. I think the jury system better suites the american judicial system but it would be bad for Nigeria. Imagine if someone like Gbenga Daniel that was a former state governor going on trial and it is left to 12 poor or middle class Nigerians to determine his guilt. Trust me he would get a not guilty verdict. I my opinion what we can do is to use retired judges in form of a jury and we might get a better judiciary....... So much to say.

Fentoluwa: According to philosopher John Rawls, it's not fair if the children of poor parents have much lower prospects in life than the children of rich parents merely because of the family they were born into; therefore, expensive inheritance taxes are justified. Do U agree?
