nudum pactum
contract that cannot be enforced because on side benefits without putting forth any effort
Nudum pactum
A nudum pactum in Latin literally means 'Bare or Naked Promise.' In
common law, it refers to a promise that is not legally enforceable for want of consideration. An example of a nudum pactum would be an offer to sell something without a corresponding offer of value in exchange. Since the offer has not been created with any consideration, it is gratuitous and treated as a
unilateral contract. The offer is therefore revocable at any time by the offeror before acceptance by the offeree.
