- Nudum pactum est ubi nulla subest cause propter conventionem; sed ubi subest causa fit obligatio, et parit actionem
- A nudum pactum is where there is no consideration on account of the promise; but where there is a consideration, an obligation is effected, and it supports an action. See Broom's Legal Maxims 745, 746.
