Item Open Access Good faith(Springer, New York, 2015) Schäfer, H. -B.; Aksoy, Hüseyin Can; Marciano, A.; Ramello, G. B.Good faith is a blanket clause under which courts develop standards of fair and honest behavior. It gives ample discretion to the judiciary and entitles a court to narrow down the interpretation of statutes or contracts and even to deviate from codified rules, from the wording in the law or the contract or to fill gaps. The law and economics literature relates bad faith to opportunistic behavior and it is accepted that in specific cases where the application of default or mandatory rules leads to opportunism or where both the law and the contract are silent on risk, the judge can resort to the good faith principle. As a result the parties may delegate part of the contractual drafting to the legal system in addition to having reduced apprehension regarding the possibility of opportunistic behavior from the other side. This allows them to keep contracts relatively short and reduces the costs of defensive strategies.Item Open Access Morality in competition law: the culture of honesty and trust in consumer protection(Athens Institute for Education and Research, 2021-04) Uçaryılmaz, TalyaRecent works in legal scholarship have shifted the focus of competition law to the economic analysis of law. Yet today we face the revival of the fairness concerns in competition polices. This article concerns itself with the nature of the interdependent relationship between competition law and consumer protection law as ancillary to the necessary relationship between law and morality. Hereby it aims to revisit their raison d’être to discuss that fairness and equity do not lack economic foundations. For an efficient market structure, private property and good faith in contractual relations are essential. This article aims to scrutinise the latter, while showing its objective criteria: Honesty, trust and reasonableness, as the moral essence of competition and consumer protection laws. These criteria provide efficient means to address moral aspects of fairness in competition law as it is best illustrated within its relation to consumer protection without compromising their economic foundations.Item Open Access Roma hukukunda sözleşmesel bona fides (dürüstlük kuralı) kavramı ve çağdaş hukuka etkisi(Türkiye Barolar Birliği, 2018) Uçaryılmaz, Talya ŞansBona fides, dürüstlük ve sadakat etik değerlerinin hukuk kuralı haline gelmesinin temel örneklerindendir. Roma usûl hukukunda doğmuş, daha sonra sözleşmeler bakımından önemle uygulanmaya başlamış olan ilke, çağdaş sözleşmeler hukukunda dü-rüstlük kuralı olarak karşımıza çıkmakta ve sözleşmeleri yorumlayıcı, tamamlayıcı, düzeltici ve borç doğurucu işlevler göstermektedir. Bu işlevleri dolayısıyla geçmişten bu yana pek çok farklı doktrinin do-ğuşuna da kaynaklık etmiş olan bona fides, sadece ulusal hukuklar bakımından değil değişen sosyo-ekonomik paradigma neticesinde uluslarüstü metinler açısından da büyük rol oynamaya başlamıştır. Nitekim bona fides, hukukun küreselleşmesi için ihtiyaç duyulan ulu-sal hukuk kurallarının katılığını aşacak esnekliğe sahiptir.
