| Whether a merchant should commit himself to dealing in [[good faith]], or in a [[commercially reasonable manner]], is one that vexes a surprising number of attorneys. Especially American ones. The only discomfort it should occasion is to a solicitor’s livelihood, for this magic expression, while doing no more than articulating the basic commercial outlook of a [[good egg]], puts many a tedious negotiation to the sword. Everyone benefits but the officers of Her Majesty's courts.

| A {{tag|contract}} is a bond of trust. How would a merchant explain to his counterparty that he wished to reserve for himself the right to act in ''[[bad faith]]''?

| | |
