'''Facts''': Parties signed a contract that Plaintiff would lend Defendant $2,000 and Defendant would repay the $2,000 with interest. In reality, the agreement was that Plaintiff would only give $25 but still receive $2,000. The money loaned was paid in drachmae, in the country of Greece. '''Proc. Hist.''': Lower court ruled that defendant must pay restitution cost. '''Issue''': Does a bargain of $25 traded for $2000 qualify for consideration? '''Arguments''': Defendant argued that there was no consideration, so contract was void. '''Holding''': Contract has consideration, is enforceable. '''Reasons''': Mere inadequacy of consideration will not void a contract. Defendant got exactly what she contracted for. '''Judgment''': Reformed and affirmed. Defendant to pay $2,000 plus interest.
