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).
