Abstract:

This chapter assesses the duty of good faith in negotiation. In general, even civilian systems which have long adopted notions of good faith performance have been much slower to accept notions of good faith negotiation. So all over the world the question of whether the parties should be under a duty to negotiate in good faith is very much at the forefront of the debate. The traditional view is that there is no general duty of good faith in negotiation. However, the doctrinal principles applied in England and Australia frequently serve to promote good faith. Those who wish to argue for a genera

Abstract:

It is a settled principle of contract law that a contracting party must perform her contractual duties in good faith. The meaning of the duty of good faith is complex. At a minimum, to be in good faith an actor must have acted in a way that she believed was proper, which is a subjective test. This subjective test is overlaid with several objective tests. First, it is not enough that an actor actually believed that her conduct was proper; her belief must be honest in the sense that it has some basis in morality. Next, although an actor's belief need not be reasonable to be in good faith, it mus

Abstract:

This commentary focuses on Article 5.3.4 of the UNIDROIT Principles of International Commercial Contracts (PICC) concerning the duty to preserve the rights of a party. Art 5.3.4 imposes obligations on the parties during the period of suspension of the condition. It requires the parties not to act, contrary to the duty to act in accordance with good faith and fair dealing, act so as to prejudice the other party's rights in case of fulfilment of the condition. Art 5.3.4 applies to both suspensive and resolutive conditions, but it should arguably apply with less intensity to resolutive conditions

Abstract:

This commentary focuses on Article 1.7, which obliges the parties to a contract to ‘act in accordance with good faith and fair dealing’. The imposition of this duty corresponds to a global trend towards an increasing role for the standard of good faith in contract law that has been emerging for several decades. To a certain extent, the UNIDROIT Principles of International Commercial Contracts (PICC) help to reinforce this trend. Art 1.7 spells out the scope of the obligation to act in accordance with good faith and fair dealing; standard of good faith and fair dealing, including ethical standa

This chapter looks at the concept of fiduciary duties and examines the history of the idea from its emergence over a century ago through to its treatment in modern cases. It then examines the identification of relationships that are fiduciary in nature, and goes on to discuss the nature of the fiduciary duties that arise in such a relationship, in particular the duty of good faith, the duty not to make a secret profit and the ‘no conflict’ rule.

Her central thesis is that democracy and democratic law have intrinsically valuable, interconnected communicative functions. Democracy and democratic law together allow us to fulfill our fundamental duties to convey to each another messages of equal respect by fashioning the sorts of public joint commitments to act that a sincere message of equal respect requires. Law and democracy are essential to each other: the aspirations of democracy ca

This chapter explores the roles of good faith, contractual discretions, and human rights in either the negotiation or performance of contracts. It first revisits the orthodox position is that English law does not recognize any over-arching obligation to act in good faith, before providing some examples of statutory interventions as well as common law principles. The chapter then turns to the problem of contractual discretions and provides some analogies with public law. Finally, the chapter turns to the subject of human rights, wherein it discusses the relevant provisions as stated in the Euro

Abstract:

In criminal law, if the defendant omits to perform an action, he will typically not be liable unless he is under a duty to act. This chapter argues that the reason that individuals do not generally have a duty to rescue is part and parcel of a broader principle that also applies to acts. The means principle underlies the reason individuals need not act absent a duty, the constraint that their bodies and property may not be appropriated for the general good, and the permissibility of performing actions that allow others to be harmed. This principle also extends to a set of cases that look nothi

Abstract:

Chapter 36 considers issues that result from the incompleteness of a contract. In economic theory a complete contract is a contract that specifies the parties’ rights, duties, and remedies under every possible state of the world. Under this conception every contract is incomplete, because it would be prohibitively expensive to delineate the effect of all possible future states and the consequences of each state. In contract law the term incomplete contract means a contract that is gappy or indefinite in important respects. The law on incomplete contracts concerns when a contract has too many g

Abstract:

This chapter provides insights into the law on contract formation in Japan. The Japanese approach is traditional, requiring an agreement which, in turn, normally requires an offer and matching acceptance, according to the mirror image rule. Once offers become effective, the 1898 Japanese Civil Code severely restricts their revocability. This is in tune with the mostly German origins of Japanese contract law. However, the drafters of the Code deliberately followed the common law in one respect: the offeree’s acceptance becomes effective as soon as it is dispatched. This is highly controversial

States as well as private parties are also precluded from contradicting their actions (estoppel) or abusing their rights, thereby defeating the legitimate expectations of another.

This modern sporting world has been a long time in the making, and at each stage religion has played a part. In the early nineteenth century this was largely negative. Evangelicals led campaigns to suppress sports based on gambling and those deemed cruel, brutal, or disorderly. But in the second half of the century there was a reconciliation between religion and sport.

This chapter identifies epistemic goods in Hooker’s Of the Laws of Ecclesiastical Polity. Hooker de-epistemizes scripture by arguing that it neither claims to provide nor can provide a particular warrant for every act of ordinary life or an immutably binding plan of church governance. This frees us from stressful searching of scripture and encourages us to use reason. Both reason and tradition foster Hooker’s emphasis on community, evident in his sympathy with other churches and with devout adherents of non-Christian religions. He values public worship as an important epistemic good in itself
