Product description

Deeply grounded in authority, Good Faith in the Performance of Contracts 2^nd edition provides a coherent account of what good faith can—and cannot—do in contract law. It is an essential resource for practitioners, judges, scholars and advanced students seeking clarity in an area long marked by uncertainty.

Chapters 1 to 8, Good Faith in the Performance of Contracts 2^nd edition traces the rise of good faith from a contested judicial aspiration to a recurring feature of contractual reasoning—while challenging many of the assumptions that have accompanied that rise.

The later chapters explore the content, limits and implications of good faith in detail. They reassess leading cases, confront the uneasy association between good faith and reasonableness, and distinguish contractual good faith from related concepts found in statute, equity, insurance and fiduciary law.
