The pleaded counterclaim disclosed no reasonable cause of action because the alleged considerations ('plain loyalty and chastity' and promise that the plaintiff would cohabit and 'live happily together') are not valid legal consideration and thus the oral agreement is unenforceable; accordingly the counterclaim was struck out under O.18 r.19(1)(a).
