Critical Acclaim
‘The elusive concept of good faith has an increasingly important, but controversial, role in English contract law. This book provides a detailed and comprehensive overview of express and implied duties of good faith, as well as the Braganza duty of rationality. Importantly, it also provides a very valuable comparative analysis of duties of good faith in other common and civil law jurisdictions.’
