Subject To Review? Consideration, Liquidated Damages And The Penalty Jurisdiction, Eliza Mik
Research Collection Yong Pung How School Of Law
The paper examines the relationship between what seem to be basic principles in contract law: "consideration need not be adequate" and "the rule against penalties applies only to sums payable on breach."

Specifically, this paper will focus on the implications of California case law regarding surrogacy contracts. Cases such as Johnson v. Calvert and In Re Marriage of Moschetta provide a clear distinction between these contracts.
