United States v. Stump Home Specialties Mfg.
Court
Citation 905 F.2d 1117 (1990)
Date decided 1990

Rule

The purpose for not allowing pre-existing duty without additional consideration is to prevent coercive modifications.

Although it is slight, any consideration will suffice to show that contract modification is enforceable.

The plaintiff would need to use the defense of duress to prevent abuse.
