     §490:1-304  Obligation of good faith.  Every contract or duty within this chapter imposes an obligation of good faith in its performance and enforcement. [L 2004, c 162, pt of §1]

 

Case Notes

 

  Where the court predicted that the Hawaii supreme court would interpret §490:1-203 (and this section, its successor) to preclude an independent cause of action for failure to perform or enforce a warranty in good faith, plaintiff's claim for breach of the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing dismissed.  459 F. Supp. 2d 1028.
