dakwaan Plaintif dalam Pernyataan Tuntutannya bahawa Defendan telah melanggar kewajipan bertindak dengan niat baik dalam hubungan perdagangan antara Plaintif dengan Defendan apabila mengeluarkan Notis Penamatan tersebut kepada Plaintif, pada pendapat Mahkamah ini, adalah tidak bermerit, tidak berasas dan tidak munasabah kerana berdasarkan undang-undang yang mantap, dalam sesuatu hubungan perdagangan, pihak-pihak tidak mempunyai kewajipan bertindak dengan niat baik dan kausa tindakan seperti ini tidak diiktiraf di Malaysia. Dalam kes Hewlett-Packard (M) Sdn Bhd & Anor v Agih Tinta Sdn Bhd [2022] 6 MLJ 853, See Mee Chun JCA yang menyampaikan keputusan Mahkamah Rayuan telah memutuskan seperti yang berikut: “[76] Over on our shores, the implication of good faith in a commercial contract has not been accepted. In Seven Seas Industries Sdn Bhd v Philips Electronic Supplies (M) Sdn Bhd & Anor [2008] 5 MLJ 157 it was said by this court at pp 169–170 as follows: [27] It is true that there is a close relationship between the parties in the carrying out of their respective functions and obligations under the contract but it is not such giving rise to a fiduciary relationship. Their close relationship can be attributed to the nature of the contract and their respective obligations thereunder. The terms of the contract stipulate that the appellant will provide labour force, manufacturing facilities and office space, while the S/N oN3LGYNf/EaQrpeeh5Drug respondents will provide the material required for the manufacture of loaders. The respondents also set out the manufacturing process, and determine the technical and other specifications, to be complied by the appellant. It also appears to us that the other terms of the contract are substantially similar to other form of contracts for service with provisions on claims for late delivery, payment and calculation of fees payable. For the reasons aforesaid, we agree with the learned judge that the parties’ relationship is not based on trust and confidence. It is a mere principal-contractor relationship. [31] We would add that there is also justification in the termination of the contract. The appellant in its letter dated 4 November 1997 to the respondents admitted that it faced manpower problem to meet substantial volume increases apart from the problem with its contractor. Then there are the minutes of the meeting held on 8 November 1997 between the appellant’s management and the representative of the respondents which showed that the appellant was facing manpower crisis coupled with shortage of trained staff and high turnover. These internal problems experienced by the appellant in our view constitute reasonable grounds for the respondents to terminate the contract by giving the requisite six months notice. Further, we are also in agreement with the learned counsel for the respondents that the appellant has in fact acquiesced in the termination when it asked the respondents to leave its premises before the expiry of the said six months period. S/N oN3LGYNf/EaQrpeeh5Drug [77] Similarly, in Aseambankers Malaysia Bhd & Ors v Shencourt Sdn Bhd & Anor [2014] 4 MLJ 619 it was stated at p 666: [126] … I add that a ‘breach of duty of good faith’ is not a cause of action and there is no general duty of good faith in common law.
