Abstract

Functions of good faith in public law can be classified into five categories: Obligatory, Justificatory, Interpretive, Restrictive, and Protective. These functions can be seen in the performance of the state or citizens, as well as in the fields of constitutional law, administrative law, or human rights separately. Obligatory, justificatory, and interpretive functions are particularly dedicated to the performance of the state; while in the performance of citizens, we often face restrictive and protective functions. In this article, we are seeking to explain and distinguish between various functions of good faith in public law scope and illustrate the appropriate application of this concept through statutory and judicial examples from different legal systems. Although the abovementioned functions of good faith in public law have been raised to some extent in the existing statutory laws and judicial precedents, it is necessary for good faith to improve and be considered as one of the general principles of law by legal doctrine and also be extended and recognized as the right of citizens to facilitate the establishment of a democratic society based on trust and honesty.
