Good faith requirements are embedded as they say in many areas of the law. For example, courts will refuse to enforce a "no damages for delay" clause in a government contract when the facts say that the government itself caused the delay, acting in bad faith.
See Sarasota County v. S. Underground Indus., Inc., 333 So. 3d 285, 288 (Fla. 2d DCA 2022) ("Although 'no damages for delay' clauses are recognized in the law, they will not be enforced in the face of governmental 'fraud, bad faith, or active interference' with performance under the contract." (Emphasis in original.))
See generally Contrasting good faith requirements -- Miscellaneous good faith requirements listed and explored in 1 DENNIS J. WALL, LITIGATION AND PREVENTION OF NSURER BAD FAITH § 2:7 (West Publishing Co. 3d Edition, 2022 Supps. forthcoming). The Sarasota County case is analyzed along with 5,000 other authorities as of the 2022 Supplements in the two volumes of LITIGATION AND PREVENTION OF INSURER BAD FAITH.
