ABSTRACT
Men must be able to assume that those 'with whom they deal in the general intercourse of society will act in good faith,1
TH A T persons should behave in good faith is a minimal standard rather than a high ideal; yet, judging from the facts of litigated cases, contractual bad faith, in its many and varied forms, is a continuing problem. The law’s solutions to the problem will be the concern of this Article. The topic is timely, for there is growing interest in de vising legal standards of contractual morality-interest generated in part by enactment of the Uniform Commercial Code’s express obliga tions of good faith.2
