Good Faith Defense is a legal principle which states that a defendant cannot be held liable for damages or injury caused by their actions if they acted in good faith and without intention or negligence. This defense is used in both criminal and civil cases and applies when a person has acted in good faith, without bad intentions, and reasonably. Types of Good Faith Defense include: 1. Mistake of Fact — when the defendant genuinely believed that their action was lawful and reasonable. 2. Mistake of Law — when the defendant reasonably believed that their action was lawful, even though it was not. 3. Necessity — when the defendant acted in a way that was necessary to prevent a greater harm or evil. 4. Entrapment — when the defendant was coerced or tricked into performing an act that they would not have normally committed. 5. Duress — when the defendant was forced to act against their will by the threat of violence or harm.
