In order for a contract to be enforceable, each party to the contract must change his or her legal position in some way. If an agreement lacks consideration, it is generally not a binding and enforceable contract. There are a few exceptions to this rule. A person sued for breaking a promise generally will not be held liable when no consideration was received for the promise.
