The implications of good faith in the action for revocation

Abstract

Any behavior of subjects participating in civil legal relations manifested in tandem with the principle of good faith, leads to ensuring an efficient and fair legal life. On the contrary, their deviation from the standard of conduct established by the legislator by defying the principle of good faith, leads to a minimization of the possibilities for the appropriate exercise of civil rights. That impact being determined by the weight of the principle of good faith in private law. It is natural for each person to look after their own selfish interest first. However, in civil legal relations this selfishness can push the person held to perform an obligation (the debtor) to violate the standard of good faith conduct, out of a desperate fear of failure or out of a desire to avoid patrimonial damage. Obviously, such a scenario presents negative consequences for the person entitled to receive the performance of the obligation (the creditor).
