1. 60 3 2015 Bringing Together the Worlds Lawyers A duty of good faith has long been implied into fiduciary relationships by the English Courts Such relationships include those between an employer and an employee or a principal and an agent But in English contract law the traditional position of the Courts has been that no general duty of good faith exists As was explored in English Law and the Obligation to Act in Good Faith Juriste 2013 3 English case law showed that this traditional position might be changing Recently the increasing willingness of English Courts to imply a duty of good faith into a wider range of contractual relationships has been demonstrated in a number of cases Earlier this year the judgment in MSC Mediterranean Shipping Company S A v Cottonex Anstalt MSC confirmed that when exercising their discretion and deciding whether to terminate or affirm a repudiated contract the innocent party must act in good faith 1 The historical position In the case of Walford v Miles a duty to negotiate in good faith was considered by the Court to be inherently repugnant to the adversarial position of the parties when involved in negotiations This was explored in further detail in Yam Seng Pte Limited Yam Seng where the judge cited three principal reasons for the English court s reluctance to recognise a general principle of good faith for all commercial contracts

Reunir a los abogados del mundo 3 2015 1 Stephen SIDKIN m Firstly it was identified that English law has traditionally looked to address particular problems with particular solutions rather than by enforcing broad overarching principles 2 m Secondly English law allows parties to pursue their own self interest in both the negotiation and performance of the contracts they enter into This ethos of individualism is only limited by the requirement that the parties do not act in a way which would amount to a breach of contract Will English Law Take a Leap of Good Faith In Interfoto Picture Library Ltd v Stiletto Visual Programmes Ltd Bingham LJ noted that in many civil law systems and perhaps in most legal systems outside the common law world the law of obligations recognises and enforces an overriding principle that in making and carrying out contracts parties should act in good faith He went on to contrast this position with that of English law Under English law there has traditionally never been a commitment to a general overriding duty of good faith Rather the English courts have developed alternative fact specific ways of dealing with issues of unfairness as and when they arise A move towards an established duty of good faith would certainly bring English law closer to both its European and worldwide contemporaries 3 m The argument against the implication of a duty of good faith stems

33. litigations Another legal institution more common in the United States than elsewhere is the contingent fee litigation in which an attorney represents a plaintiff or group of plaintiffs with the understanding that the attorney s fee will be a percentage of the plaintiffs recovery Most mass tort cases are also contingency fee cases and since these cases are often protracted and difficult the law firms that specialize in handling them often have cash flow issues For example a group of plaintiffs may wish to file a meritorious case asserting that they suffered serious injuries and alleging tens or hundreds of millions of dollars in collective damages But almost invariably Bringing Together the World s Lawyers 3 2015 New York Court Upholds Law Firm Financing Agreements I Steven J SHORE the individual plaintiffs will be unable to pay any legal fees except as a share of the ultimate recovery Indeed the plaintiffs may not even be able to cover the day to day operating expenses of running the litigation such as experts fees If the law firm eventually succeeds in proving or settling its case it will eventually collect enough money to pay all its expenses and if it selects its cases well earn a lucrative legal fee But the time between when an injured plaintiff walks in the door and when his or her case is resolved will usually be measured in years A law firm may be able to cover the costs of one or two such
