Abstract
ABSTRACT This note argues that the English Court of Appeal decision of MWB Business Exchange Centres Ltd v Rock Advertising Ltd is a significant modification of the present understanding of consideration with respect to agreements to accept part-payments of a debt and to perform pre-existing duties, and that the preferred way forward for the development of the law should be judicial intervention by the Supreme Court to reconcile the logical inconsistencies between Foakes v Beer and Williams v Roffey Bros & Nicholls (Contractors) Ltd.
