Question
Which of the following statements about bilateral and unilateral contracts is not correct?Group of answer choicesA unilateral contract does not require consideration (which means exchange of obligations) but simply a promise to perform an act is sufficientMore than one party is required for both bilateral and unilateral contractsBoth parties are obligated to perform their promises in a bilateral contractOnly one of the parties is obligated to perform an action in a unilateral contract
Solution
The incorrect statement is: A unilateral contract does not require consideration (which means exchange of obligations) but simply a promise to perform an act is sufficient.
Here's why:
-
A unilateral contract is a type of contract where only one party makes a promise and the other party can choose to fulfill the condition or not. However, if the second party chooses to fulfill the condition, the first party is obligated to fulfill their promise.
-
Even in a unilateral contract, there is consideration involved. The consideration in this case is the act performed by the second party. If the second party chooses to perform the act, the first party is obligated to fulfill their promise. This is the consideration or exchange of obligations.
-
The other statements are correct. More than one party is required for both bilateral and unilateral contracts. Both parties are obligated to perform their promises in a bilateral contract. Only one of the parties is obligated to perform an action in a unilateral contract.
