Ben hired Lewis to drive his car in a race. Tuan, a friend of Lewis, promised to pay Lewis $3,000 if he won the race. Lewis won the race, but Tuan refused to pay the $3,000. Tuan contended that no legally binding contract had been formed because he had received no consideration from Lewis for his promise to pay the $3,000. Lewis sued Tuan for breach of contract, arguing that winning the race was the consideration given in exchange for Tuan's promise to pay the $3,000. What rule of law discussed in this chapter supports Tuan's claim? Explain.

    Consideration contract.

    Explanation:

    Consideration is basically the fact that Lewis never offered something in consideration to Tuan for his offer to pay the $3,000, this means that both parties need to have a benefit from the agreement and both should have a detriment, if only one party has a benefit that is considered a gift, and the law can't force someone to gift something. This is why Tuan claim is correct and he isn't forced to pay the $3,000 to Lewis.
