 However, by the 17th century and under the influence of the "usus modernus pandectarum", the general principle of binding force had become the rule in Holland.By contrast, under English law, a contract required not "causa" but rather valuable consideration ("ex titulo oneroso").This led to differing practice between, on the one hand, Roman-Dutch law jurisdictions applying either "iusta causa" or the general principle of binding force, and, on the other, English law jurisdictions applying the doctrine of consideration.
