FAQ

In contract law, the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing is a general presumption that the parties to a contract will deal with each other honestly, fairly, and in good faith, so as to not destroy the right of the other party or parties to receive the benefits of the contract.

The implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing means that a party cannot do anything that will destroy or injure the right of the other party to receive the benefits of the contract.

To form a contract, the parties must mutually agree to the terms and conditions of their promises. This is often referred to as “mutuality” or a “meeting of the minds.” When an agreement is mutual, it means that the parties communicated to each other their agreement to the same terms and conditions.

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.

Overall, in the context of the case, the duty of good faith clause imposed a core requirement that the parties should act honestly towards each other and the company, and not to act in bad faith towards each other.

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.

Government Code (GC) section 19257 states that to be valid, a civil service appointment must be made and accepted in “good faith” under the civil service statutes and State Personnel Board (SPB) regulations. “Good faith” is defined as, having honest intentions or in compliance with standards of decency and honesty.

The implied covenant provides that neither party shall do anything that will have the effect of destroying or injuring the right of the other party to receive the fruits of the contract. … This guarantees that the parties remain faithful to the intended and agreed expectations of the parties in their performance.”

A Standard Clause providing model language to plead a claim for breach of the implied covenant (or duty) of good faith and fair dealing under Massachusetts law.UCC Section 1-203 provides: "Every contract or duty within the Act imposes an obligation of good faith in its performance or enforcement. "Under Massachusetts law, every contract implies good faith and fair dealing between the parties to it. …. The writing shall be certified as made in good faith. This duty requires that neither party will do anything that will destroy or injure the right of the other party to receive the benefits of the contract. Instead, the law holds that there are implied duties to cover situations not discussed in the written contract. UCC Section 2306(2) and its related Comment 5 use "best efforts" interchangeably with "good faith and reasonable diligence. 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.
