In context: the FMLC and its paper on good faith
On 2 November 2022, the Financial Markets Law Committee (FMLC) published a paper titled Duties of Good Faith in Wholesale Financial Contracts. The Paper will be of keen interest both to transactional lawyers and to litigators.1 This article begins with a summary of the Paper’s findings, goes on to consider the unique composition and role of the FMLC, places the FMLC’s good faith discussion in the context of the private law underpinning the wholesale financial markets, and then considers the FMLC’s analysis of English contract law which includes a comparison with the approach of other countries, including the United States (New York) and jurisdictions in Europe and the Commonwealth.
