Question

Jack has cancer which is inoperable. There is a treatment that can prolong his life for up to 18 months but which cannot provide a cure. The procedure is very expensive and although he does have medical insurance, the insurance company is dragging its feet and will not provide authorization. Their thinking is that if they can delay a decision until Jack dies they can save a significant amount of money. Which ethical rule drawn from the law are they most specifically violating?

Answer 1

Acting in good faith

Step-by-step explanation:

Acting in good faith in contract law, is related to the conduct of honesty covenant of the parties involved in a contract, with the implication that while being bounded by the contract parties in the contract will act responsibly and protect the other parties right to obtain the contract benefits. The Good Faith law is implied in several contracts to clarify the contract promises. A party trying to make use of a technicality of the contract to breach the contract or to use particular contract terms in isolation to keep from performing their side of the contract could be cause for a action.
