Highlight

Failure of consideration is an affirmative defense that arises when a valid contract has been formed, but the performance bargained for has not been rendered.
Failure of consideration is a question of fact which will not be disturbed on appeal unless clearly erroneous.
Although parol evidence is generally not admissible to vary or contradict the terms of a written contract, it is admissible to prove a failure of consideration.
