Contract - Duty of Good Faith - Wastech v Vancouver (SCC, 2021)

. Wastech Services Ltd. v. Greater Vancouver Sewerage and Drainage District

In Wastech Services Ltd. v. Greater Vancouver Sewerage and Drainage District (SCC, 2021) the Supreme Court of Canada considered the content of the relatively new doctrine of contractual duty of good faith. In this case the issue was whether the duty extended beyond what the purposes of the contract called for (SS: almost a fiduciary duty of 'best interests' of the other party) - it didn't [paras 61-95].
