THE APPLICATION OF THE PRINCIPLE OF OBJECTIVE GOOD FAITH IN CIVIL CONTRACTS

Abstract

The application of the principle of objective good faith in civil contracts is a topic that is of great importance and interest in Law. Objective good faith, as a fundamental basis of contractual relations, plays an essential role in providing the impetus for the promotion of equality, loyalty and reasonableness between the parties involved in the contract. In the field of Civil Law, objective good faith permeates negotiations, executions and contractual interpretations, directly influencing the conduct of the parties and the legal consequences resulting from their actions. This principle is supported by precepts of honesty, cooperation and trust, seeking to guarantee contractual justice and the preservation of the legitimate interests of the parties involved. In this context, it is essential to seek an analysis of the practical application of objective good faith in civil contracts, taking into account their interpretative challenges, impacts on conflict resolution and their jurisprudential evolution. This research seeks to explore the effectiveness and challenges of applying this principle, aiming to contribute to improving the understanding and application of Civil Law with regard to objective good faith in contracts
