Anthony Terrence Smith v. State

How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• holding that it is sufficient if the contract bound a party to provide “certain valuable consideration,” such as written notice before a contract can be cancelled
• holding that lack of good faith can be inferred from totality of the circumstances
• noting that a party’s “broad latitude” to act under a contract “does not immunize it against” an allegation of breach of the implied covenant of good faith
• dismissing claim because defendant’s termination of plaintiff’s contract to obtain a better price was not a violation “[u]nder terms of the contract”
• considering whether a party’s action “will have the effect of destroying or injuring the right of the other party to receive the fruits of the contract.”
• finding insufficient facts to prove defendant committed a breach of the implied covenant when the case did not “assert[] that the [defendant’s] stated reason for terminating the contract concealed an illegitimate one”
