Express Contract Terms Govern Over Implied Covenants
Synthèse Legislator
Généré par l'IAA party challenged a decision regarding the scope of certain implied covenants, arguing that the trial court improperly applied principles of contract interpretation to override the plain meaning of the agreements concerning obligations related to development and operations. The court reasoned that the contractual language, when read as a whole and in context, imposed clear and specific duties that could not be defeated by an assertion that the implied covenants of good faith and fair dealing allowed for a broader, unstated obligation, concluding that the express terms governed the parties' responsibilities.
