Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A legal detriment refers to a promise or an act that results in one party giving up something of value or incurring some loss to fulfill the terms of a contract or agreement. If a promise made saves the parties from incurring losses, it is still considered a legal detriment because there is a change in the parties' positions or something of value is given up to fulfill the promise.
