What is the test for good faith?
Nova Scotia, Canada
The following excerpt is from Simon (Re), 2018 NSSC 332 (CanLII):
In Duke v. Nanaimo (Regional District) (1998), 50 M.P.L.R. (2d) 116 (B.C.S.C.) at paragraph 52 one finds the following: Although the phrase “good faith” always contains a component of honesty, it often connotes additional qualities depending on the circumstance in which it is used. In my view, the requirement of good faith mandates genuineness, realism and reasonableness both subjectively and objectively.
