Article 3 - Consideration
§ 13-3-41. Types of Consideration

Considerations are distinguished into “good” and “valuable.” A good consideration is such as is founded on natural duty and affection or on a strong moral obligation. A valuable consideration is founded on money or something convertible into money or having a value in money, except marriage, which is a valuable consideration.

For comment on property interest of inventor as valuable consideration, in light of Alexis, Inc. v. Werbell, 209 Ga. 665 , 75 S.E.2d 168 (1953), see 5 Mercer L. Rev. 208 (1953).
For article discussing the anachronistic nature of the Georgia contracts Code as dramatized by comparing the doctrine of consideration as it is formulated in the Restatements of Contracts and in Code 1933, Title 20 (now this title), and the interpretative approach Georgia courts have taken in dealing with such Code, see 13 Ga. L. Rev. 499 (1979). (But see amendments by Ga. L. 1981, p. 876.)
