Abstract
In a dispute between a Georgian company and the municipality of Tbilisi on the proper performance of a public procurement contract, the Supreme Court referred to the principle of good faith, which is expressly stated in Article 8 of the Georgian Civil Code, and to Article 115 of the Georgian Civil Code, which prevents a party of a legal relationship, whether private or public, to exercise its right exclusively with the intention to inflict damage on another. In support of its findings the Court recalled that the principle of good faith is recognized in Art. 7(1) CISG and in Art. 1.7 UNIDROIT Principles.
