The opposite of good
faith, generally implying or involving actual or constructive fraud, or a design to
mislead or deceive another, or a neglect or refusal to fulfil some duty of some
contractual obligation, not prompted by an honest mistake as to one's right or duties, but
by some interested or sinister motives. The term "bad faith" is not simply
judgement or negligence, but rather it implies the conscious doing of a wrong because of
the dishonest purpose...; it is different from the negative idea of negligence in that it
contemplates a state of mind affirmatively operating with a furtive design or ill mind.
Bad Faith is the breach of the implied-in-law covenant of good faith
and fair dealings |
