Este artículo aborda el enfoque asumido por el common law británico respecto al concepto legal de “buena fe”. Toma en cuenta las consecuencias de que el Derecho inglés no acepte el concepto de “buena fe” en el Derecho Comercial en general, incluso en relación con los contratos de construcción e ingeniería, y algunas de las doctrinas desarrolladas por el Derecho inglés para aminorar las potenciales graves consecuencias de que una parte ejerza sus derechos contractuales de manera abusiva. También se aborda el New Engineering Contract y otras formas contractuales que requieren expresamente a las partes actuar de buena fe.2017text (article)application/pdfhttps://dialnet.unirioja.es/servlet/oaiart?codigo=8024593(Revista) ISSN 2079-3634Derecho & Sociedad, ISSN 2079-3634, Nº. 49, 2017, pags. 19-31engLICENCIA DE USO: Los documentos a texto completo incluidos en Dialnet son de acceso libre y propiedad de sus autores y/o editores.

Issues of “good faith” in the performance of construction and engineering contracts are common. Moreover, “good faith” issues arise in most jurisdictions of the world, including common law and civil law jurisdictions. This paper considers the approach taken by English common law to the legal concept of “good faith”. It considers the consequences of English law not embracing “good faith” in commercial law in any general way, including in relation to construction and engineering contracts, and some of the doctrines developed by English law to ameliorate the potentially harsh consequences of a party exercising its contractual rights in an unfair manner.
