Good Faith in Contract Law

Good Faith in Contract Law (Edward Elgar Publishing) examines the role of good faith in commercial contracts and the legal and practical questions that arise when contractual obligations are disputed. Drawing on recent case law, Perry considers both express and implied duties of good faith across a range of agreements, including commercial, employment, insurance, partnership, and agency contracts. Perry also explores the limits of contractual discretion following the landmark case of Braganza v BP Shipping Ltd and compares approaches in common law jurisdictions such as the United States with those in civil law systems including France and Germany. Good Faith in Contract Law is a comprehensive guide to a complex and evolving area of contract law for practicing lawyers, students, and scholars.
