IANAL, but as far as I know consideration is usually a feature of common law not civil law.

Correct. As per my direct reply to the person you're responding to, the kind of concept that's analogous to a contract with consideration is called an onerous contract and the kind that lacks it is a gratuitous contract. (Quebec terminology; it's a standard continental European style civil law system with its ultimate main origin in the Custom of Paris which governed most French colonies until 1763.)
