This article was listed for cleanup by Wikipedia. I have undertaken a major cleanup of this article but it probably could do with more tweaking. At least it is beginning to look as if it might be a Wikipedia article. Since I have had enough of this project, I invite others to wade in and improve it further. MPLX/MH 06:37, 15 Mar 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Merge

  • To merge these two articles would be daft, many people use this as a source for academic work, to merge the American and British versions together would create confusion. There are often quite distinct differences.
  • Please don't merge these articles. It's very important that people understand the difference between the laws of the jurisdictions, and I feel that merging English and US legal doctrines will lead to nothing but confusion.
  • I agree that this should be merged with 'Consideration.'
  • Do Not Merge As a matter of law, US and English law are, while similar, obviously and necessarily seperate. Because of this, I think that they should be addressed seperately. Cpaliga 01:34, 24 November 2005 (UTC)
  • Do Not Merge English law and US law as regards consideration have very different development and the merging of the two articles can make lay reader confusing (as the principles of consideration itself are confusing enought!) --Sunnyhsli 08:44, 30 November 2005 (UTC)
  • Do Not Merge. In my judgement, this would be dangerous. Consideration under English Law and US Law are conceptually distinct and governed by their own cases. It does not serve any use to 'merge' the two together, for then the analysis would, in my judgement, be confused and muddled when clear analysis demands separations and distinctions to be made, so the two different conceptions can be understood better in their own terms. EM (2005). A small and brief subsection labelled "Comparison With Other Jurisdictions" might be more appropriate.
  • Do Not Merge. Many students will be confused if you merge this already complicated subject. :)
  • Do Not Merge. Absolutely not. Merging these articles would be a big mistake, and will only lead to confusion.
  • Do Not Merge. This is a complex concept; merging the articles would create unneccessary confusion for the layreader and students of Law. Iolar Iontach 02:08, 11 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Do Not Merge Quite clearly different jurisdictions therefore need separate pages!

[edit] Another merger proposal
