Consideration forms the stem for an agreement, the parties need consideration to show that they have ‘bought’ the promise by doing some act or providing something in return for the promise. In contrast to the agreement or contract, there is no requirement for consideration for a deed, consideration is not mandatory, a deed does not need consideration because of the idea that a deed is the most solemn indication that the parties are intended to be bound.
