FAQ

The duty of good faith recognises that the interests of parties will conflict at times. It holds a lower standard than a fiduciary duty as the parties are not required to put the other side's interests before their own, or minimise their self-interest.

The 'good faith' duties promote loyalty or fidelity to the contractual relationship, primarily by requiring honesty and cooperation in contract performance and by precluding the exercise of discretionary contractual powers in a manner that is unreasonable or outside the proper purposes of the power.

In general, the duty of good faith and fair dealing means, for example, that parties cannot evade the spirit of the bargain, lack diligence or slack off, perform incorrectly on purpose, abuse their power when specifying the terms of a contract, or interfere with or fail to cooperate in the other party's performance.

Under common law, good faith requires parties to an agreement to exercise their powers reasonably and not arbitrarily or for some irrelevant purpose. Certain conduct may lack good faith if one party acts dishonestly or fails to have regard to the legitimate interests of the other party.

Implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing (often simplified to good faith) is a rule used by most courts in the United States that requires every party in a contract to implement the agreement as intended, not using means to undercut the purpose of the transaction.

The principle of good faith has guided all contractual relationships in Canada since 2014. At a bare minimum, it imposes a duty not to lie in the performance of the contract itself and an obligation to exercise any contractual discretion reasonably.

Parties cannot rely on the strict terms of a contract to justify dishonest conduct – the duty of honest performance imposes an obligation to act honestly and in good faith when performing contractual obligations, even if the terms of the contract allow for termination or other actions.

The implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing is different that a contractually set standard of conduct of "good faith. The recognition that there is an obligation of good faith in every contract has been regarded as one of the most important.When parties negotiate the terms of a contract, they cannot account for every contingency or event that may affect performance. A duty of good faith is implied in two contracts in are either in relation to the negotiation or the performance of those contracts. When a court or trier of fact interprets a contract, there is always an "implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing" in every written agreement. Acting in good faith means you will be honest in upholding your end of the contract and not stand in the way of the success of the other party. This decision shows that the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing is a powerful (if elusive) tool in contract disputes. The rule of good faith applies or is implied in any contract without being specifically stated in the agreement.
