Synthèse Legislator

Généré par l'IA

A dispute arose regarding whether a non-statutory, implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing could be used to modify the clear terms of a written agreement, specifically concerning the termination of that agreement. The court reasoned that when a contract's terms are unambiguous and fully integrated, the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing cannot be invoked to override or contradict those express terms; such a covenant is meant only to prevent one party from acting in a way that deprives the other of the benefits of the contract, not to rewrite the contract's explicit provisions regarding termination rights.
