White Paper

Implied Duty of Good Faith and Fair Dealing

 

Surprised to learn that you are bound to implied unwritten construction contract obligations? You’re not the only one.

Courts in the United States began to recognize certain implied contract obligations about 100 years ago in circumstances where application of the common law rules of contract formation and interpretation would lead to results that the parties to the contract clearly did not intend. As a result, the courts required that the implied contract obligations be consistent with and necessary to carry out the express terms of the contract, such that it could be fairly said that the parties to the contract would have included such obligations in their contract had they thought about it.
