Feinberg v Pfeiffer 1

Brief missing

Notes:

promise of pension->>>

?<<<--

Feinberg argues that she gave her ctd service and decades of past service in return for the annuity

No past consideration (would require time machine (tech not yet developed)

so there is no consideration. Her ctd. service was optional, not bargained for.

impossible to bargain for past service now or in future

BUT promise enforceable on other grounds (Mrs. F relied on the promise.)

under past approach (mutuality of obligation, she was under no obligation, so still no contract, but maybe still enforceable promise under "promissory" or "equitable" estoppel
