Summary

It is well established that every contract has an implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing with respect to the parties’ performance and enforcement of the agreement. The covenant imposes an obligation on parties to act in good faith and deal fairly with other parties to the contract, even though this duty is not specifically stated in the agreement.
