Good Faith in Contract Performance

About This Course

This timely practical program will interest litigators in diverse areas of practice as well as solicitors who negotiate and draft contracts.

Hear about the recent trilogy of Supreme Court of Canada cases; specifically, Matthews v. Ocean Nutrition Canada Ltd. (2020); C.M. Callow Inc. v. Zollinger (2020); and Wastech Services Ltd. v. Greater Vancouver Sewerage and Drainage District (2021).

Topics include:

  1. What guidance about good faith duties do these rulings provide?
  2. How have lower courts applied these decisions and the earlier ground-breaking one in Bhasin v Hrynew (2014)?
  3. What is the significance of the trilogy for contractual negotiations?
  4. What are the recognised remedies for conduct that violates duties of good faith?
  5. What unanswered questions about the organizing principle of good faith remain? Our panel of experts consists of the Honourable Tom Cromwell, the former SCC justice who penned Bhasin, Brandon Kain, who has been counsel in most of these SCC decisions, and John McCamus, the author of a leading contracts text and a seasoned practitioner.
