FAQ

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.

For example, if a famous athlete signs an agreement only allowing one company to use their image on products in exchange for a part of the profits, a court would likely find that the company must attempt to make and sell those products even if the contract did not explicitly say as much.

Example Clause Good Faith Negotiation Clause: The Parties agree to engage in good faith negotiations to resolve any disputes arising under this Agreement. Each Party shall act honestly and fairly, provide necessary and relevant information to the other Party, and make a genuine effort to reach an equitable resolution.

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.

Litigation Over Good Faith Breaches Depending on the jurisdiction, there may be two additional items that are required: The plaintiff may need to prove intent or knowledge from the defendant that their actions were violating an implied duty of good faith, but negligence or reckless disregard may be acceptable.

The duty of good faith and fair dealing remains an outlier in Texas common law, imposed only in specific relationships deemed by our Supreme Court as “special” and therefore appropriate for the implication of such a duty for the protection of the disadvantaged party.
