Past consideration is no consideration. Past consideration is not sufficient to make a contract binding.
Past consideration is where the action is performed before the promise that it is supposed to be the consideration for. re McArdle 1951
There are exceptions to this rule. ie. where the claimant performed the action at the request of the defendant and payment was expected then any subsequent promise to pay will be enforceable. re Casey's Patent
