Abstract
This commentary focuses on Article 1.7, which obliges the parties to a contract to ‘act in accordance with good faith and fair dealing’. The imposition of this duty corresponds to a global trend towards an increasing role for the standard of good faith in contract law that has been emerging for several decades. To a certain extent, the UNIDROIT Principles of International Commercial Contracts (PICC) help to reinforce this trend. Art 1.7 spells out the scope of the obligation to act in accordance with good faith and fair dealing; standard of good faith and fair dealing, including ethical standard and standard employed ‘in international trade’; consequences of failure to act in accordance with good faith and fair dealing; and burden of proof.
