However, its use in the UK is extremely limited. Inconsistent application has given rise to confusion and uncertainty. This apparent antipathy is somewhat hard to fathom, given its previous widespread acceptance in English law.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThe book explains in depth the history of good faith in English law, and clarifies its current status in English, Australian and international law. It explores the relationship between good faith within contractual relations and the neighbour principle in tort law, and notes the workability of good faith in the commercial context of insurance. This will be welcomed by contract lawyers in both common law and civil law jurisdictions. A subsequent volume will explore how acceptance of good faith in the law might lead to a re-interpretation of existing contract law doctrine.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAnthony Gray\u003c\/b\u003e is Professor of Law at Bond University, Australia.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Bloomsbury Publishing PLC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50911865143570,"sku":"9781509973057","price":142.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_be236f3e-636a-4169-b784-543137dfd0f4.jpg?v=1738758335","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/good-faith-and-relational-contracts-theory-practice-and-future-developments-9781509973057","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
