Section 23

Consideration is actually absolutely necessary for the formation of contracts. A contract that does not have consideration is basically invalid unless one party can show detrimental reliance.
Certain types of contracts do not require consideration from both parties, including contracts under seal (also known as deeds), which are legally binding without mutual consideration. Additionally, unilateral contracts, where one party makes a promise in exchange for an act by another party, do not require reciprocal consideration. Promissory estoppel may also enforce a promise without consideration if one party relies on it to their detriment. Lastly, certain statutory contracts, like those involving public policy, may not require consideration.

from wawa(ums kal) :contracts under seal are valid without a consideration or perbaps
An enforceable contract requires the existence of the following elements: an offer, an acceptance that mirrors the terms of the offer, consideration, and lawful subject matter. The "consideration" can consist of money, property, a promise--just about anything of value that is not unlawful. Generally, a court will not inquire into the adequacy of the consideration. "Consideration" might be thought of as the "this for that" or the "quid pro quo". Even of the other elements are present, a contract cannot be enforced if the object of it is unlawful. That is, one cannot, for example, enforce a contract to rob a bank.
Yes, it does, it is in the table of contents
Not necessarily. Sometimes in a contract for sale or purchase, a down payment is accepted as "consideration," but other types of contracts do not require any such offering.
Unfair dismissal refers to a situation where an employee is dismissed without a fair reason or without following the correct procedures. Unlawful dismissal occurs when an employee is dismissed in violation of anti-discrimination laws, employment contracts, or statutory protections. Unlawful dismissal often involves discrimination, retaliation, or dismissal for exercising legal rights.
there should be a consideration for each party........
Antonino Cataudella has written: 'La donazione mista' -- subject(s): Consideration (Law), Gratuitous Contracts
my attempt at trying to answer it is as follows. Consideration does not need to flow in any particular direction if the contract is offered before being accepted. But once it does start to flow the terms and conditions of the contract begin to come into effect and those terms, much like the terms of service of any Internet service offer of a contract may or may not include definitions of how long the offer of a contract is open for, with the general equity principal in common law jurisdictions that "nothing good lasts forever" and all unlawful contracts are "unenforceable anyway".
