In Miller & Others v. Foree & Another, the United States Supreme Court was asked to decide whether a contract between two parties was valid and enforceable.

In Miller & Others v. Foree & Another, the Supreme Court was tasked with deciding whether a contract between two parties was valid and enforceable. The majority of justices held that it was not, as the contract had been made without consideration or mutuality of obligation. Justice Field dissented from this opinion on the grounds that there were sufficient facts to support an inference of consideration for the agreement in question. He argued that even if no specific formality had been observed when making the contract, its terms indicated that something valuable had passed from one party to another in exchange for their respective promises; thus satisfying any requirement for consideration under common law principles. Furthermore, he noted that both parties appeared to have intended to be bound by their agreement and should therefore be allowed to enforce it accordingly.
