The 'implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing' that accompanies most contracts requires that:

Explicación

California implies into every contract a covenant that neither party will do anything to injure the other's right to receive the benefits of the agreement. Its work is policing discretion the contract grants — an owner who withholds approvals to run the clock, a contractor who staffs a job too thinly to meet dates it agreed to. (d) is the usual overreach: the covenant protects the agreed bargain; it imposes no duty to advance the other side's profit, and it never adds a term the parties did not agree to. (b) invents an ongoing duty to renegotiate, which is the same error in a different form. (a) confuses an implied duty with a required clause — arbitration is voluntary, as the notice B&P §7191(b) prescribes says in terms.
