Abstract
El principio de la buena fe está presente a lo largo de todo el íter contractual. El presente trabajo examina las funciones que cumple la buena fe en la etapa de ejecución o cumplimiento del contrato y, así, plantea que la buena fe es un mecanismo de control del cumplimiento y, al mismo tiempo, fuente de deberes concretos de conducta que se integran al contrato formando el contenido obligacional implícito. Asimismo, se propone que la infracción al deber general de ejecutar de buena fe los contratos constituye un supuesto de incumplimiento o, al menos, de cumplimiento imperfecto, con independencia de que las estipulaciones expresas del contrato hayan sido cumplidas. Finalmente, se sostiene que si el incumplimiento del contenido obligacional implícito derivado de la buena fe contractual genera daños en la persona o propiedad del otro contratante, se engendra la respectiva responsabilidad civil contractual y no extracontractual.
The good faith principle is present along the entire contractual term. This work examines the functions that good faith carries out during the contract's performance phase, proposing that good faith is a mechanism to control performance and, at the same time, a source of specific behavior duties that are an integral part of the contract, thus comprising its implicitly contained obligations. Furthermore, this work proposes that an infringement of the general duty to fulfill a contract's obligations in good faith is an event of breach or, at least, of imperfect performance, regardless of whether the contract's express stipulations have been fulfilled. Finally, this work contends that if the breach of the implicitly contained obligations derived from contractual good faith causes personal or property damages to the other party, civil contractual liability will arise, instead of liability for torts.
