good consideration
1.Consideration based on natural love or affection or on moral duty <good consideration, being based purely on affection, does not amount to valuable consideration. 0 Such consideration is usu. not valid for the enforcement of a contract. -Also termed meritorious consideration; moral consideration. "A good consideration is that of blood, or the natural love and affection which a person has to his children, or any of his relatives .... A good consideration is not of itself sufficient to support a promise, any more than the moral obligation which arises from a man's passing his word; neither will the two together make a binding contract; thus a promise by a father to make a gift to his child will not be enforced against him. The consideration of natural love and affection is indeed good for so little in law, that it is not easy to see why it should be called a good consideration ...." Joshua Williams, Principles of the Law of Personal Property 95-96 (11th ed. 1881).
