Counterpart and doctrine preventing the possibility of retreat

Except for bonds, contracts can only be enforceable if something of value is awarded against
the bidder's undertaking, which is called the counterpart. It is usually in return or in the form
of commodities with monetary values, as well as in the form of an undertaking to perform or
refrain from a particular act.
It is usually said that the counterpart can be inappropriate but must be sufficient, the
counterpart with monetary values can be unequal, but must have values recognized before the
law.
Love and tenderness, for example, cannot be regarded as legally sufficient.
The counterpart may also be an executor or a deferral of implementation, but it can never be a
pre-execution (the counterpart is not made prior to the exchange of pledges). The previous
offset cannot be regarded as a legal quid pro quo because it did not take place in an exchange
process (for example, if 'a' renders a service to 'b' and ' b ' promises to give' a 'car as a matter
of thanks, b 'undertakes are not legally binding. On the other hand, a third party cannot
provide the counterpart, as the contractor must provide it.
If one of the parties to the contract indicates that it will not request the execution of certain
rights under the contract and the other party acts accordingly, the law considers it unfair to
allow the former party to return to its undertakings, despite the absence of any quid pro quo
provided by the other party. In such cases, the doctrine of closing the possibility of reversing
is activated in order to prevent the first party from reversing its promise not to request the
implementation of certain rights.
