6 - The Ghost in the Machine? Good Faith in Contract after Re Compound Photonics with Andreas Gledhill KC
Listen now
Description
Join Andreas Gledhill KC and he explores the implications of the recent case Re Compound Photonics Group Ltd; Faulkner v. Vollin Holdings Ltd [2022] EWCA Civ 1371. One of the most contentious issues in the law of obligations has been the role of good faith in contract law:    When is an obligation of good faith implied?   And in cases where it is either implied, or expressly agreed, what is its scope:  what standard of behaviour does a duty of good faith bind the parties to?  Andreas will address these issues, with particular reference to a decision of the Court of Appeal in October, in a case called Re Compound Photonics Group (which I’ll call “Compound”, for short).
