Oklahoma Code Comment

This changes the Oklahoma law and the almost universally accented rule that an "option" to be binding must be supported by consideration. The term "firm offer" although a customary commercial term, has not heretofore been used by the courts, which have used the term "option."

15 O.S. § 2(4) which requires "sufficient cause or consideration" for the existence of a contract is repealed by implication in so far as it is inconsistent herewith. 12A O.S. §10-102.
