What are the so-called "moral consideration" cases ?
Answer: if one party gets the benefit of the contract before the contract is made, he cannot have a legal obligation to perform the terms of the agreement, because he already has the benefit. In this case, he has no legal obligation, but may feel he has a moral obligation. For example: a small-business owner comes across a car accident on the way to work. The owner renders first aid, and the injured person shows his gratitude by promising to give the owner $10,000 for his first aid. Because the owner's rendering of first aid happened prior to the injured person's promise, the injured person has no legal obligation to give anything to the business owner, but has a moral obligation.
