    i kind of asked two slightly varying questions and you answered both so thank you!

    i was along that thought anyways, i just needed to confirm it, before i tackle this beast! keep the coffee pouring!:T

    Hi - generally you don't actually need consideration to vary the terms of a contract by agreement if there is some other benefit to both parties. Vomity is spot on with the caselaw.

    You can vary a contract without consideration by using a Deed of Variation.

    Choose not too? (sic?..you do struggle with that 2/3 letter word) by all means...but if you get basic grammar wrong what message does that send out to your clients?

    Has the Grammar Police really stooped to such a new level of pathetic???

    If clients are coming on to a informal forum such as this where they may see what he has typed, it cant be such a big problem after all!!

    You really need to get some idea in your head of the difference between a forum and real life?

    I also think you will find that 4743hudsonj is usually very helpful when people come to him looking for help, and if he ever needs help like now, it is worth returning the favour.

    Haha thank you to Tozer and Vomityspice? (I'm intrigued as to where you got the name lol)

    I managed to get it done :beer:

    Wasn't too bad after all, got to write another one now on contracts when a legal or contractual obligation to carry out the deed already exist and comment on Lord Denning. Fun, fun fun.:rolleyes:

    Thank you again to all who helped.
    Back by no demand whatsoever.

    I can type properly if I wish too. In fact, I am required too for assignments and dissertations. I just choose not too, with a far more relaxed style on here due to it being an informal forum.
    My highlighting.

    It obviously escaped your notice that I made no comment - and - added a big grin. Still, don't let the facts get in the way of a good whinge !

    Sorry Tozer you are quite correct! I should have also highlighted the fact that they were leaving it to the last minute too...something else that doesn't inspire confidence. Especially when they claim they can spell when they want 'too'.

    The only thing Lame would be leaving an assessment to last minute,

    Also answering the OP's question would be of limited use as I don't know of many law degrees who will pass for giving the answer without all the backing information and case law.

    The answer however is yes it would be valid if the contract was renegotiated and acceptance was there from both parties. Increased consideration would likely do this.

    When I was at Law School, the timing of assessments was actually to simulate real life lawyering. Hence we had to work overnight on simulated deals, etc. Maybe OP is doing the same sort of thing.

    Your final para doesn't make a huge amount of sense.
