  • PAJLO

CONT

Bargaining in good faith does not require a willingness to make concessions, and is consistent with adopting a hard line. It implies preparedness to take seriously offers and proposals made by the other side, and to take account of their arguments. Inability to reach an agreement is not evidence of bad faith.
