Good faith and the exercise of contractual discretions
Kevin Arkwright and Jeffrey Goldberger consider the role of good faith in Australian contract law.
Australia | Publication | March 2020
March brings with it Autumn, its shorter days and cooler nights, and our second issue of The Commonwealth Quarterly.
It’s no less promising than the first, with Kevin Arkwright and Jeffrey Goldberger on good faith; Nicki Milionis on trends in workplace health and safety; Peter Mulligan and Lauren Holz on privacy; Alexandra Holland on public interest certificates; and Catherine Whitby on why Commonwealth agencies should take data management seriously.
So grab a coffee, find a cozy spot, settle down and enjoy the read – and if you have any thoughts or suggestions for future issues, please let us know.

The Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (the Recast EPBD) entered into force on 28 May 2024. The Recast EPBD repeals the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive 2010 (the Repealed EPBD). The Repealed EPBD will remain as transposed in the laws of England and Wales, and the Recast EPDB will only be transposed into the national legislation of EU Member States. The overarching aims of the revisions set out in the Recast EPBD reflect the common themes of European climate legislation to speed up the transition to renewables and rapidly reduce energy consumption. We set out below a summary of the key provisions under the Recast EPBD, when the provisions take effect and a comparison with the Repealed EPBD.

On 21 May 2024, the European Council (or Council) adopted the so-called ‘Hydrogen and decarbonised gas market package’ (the Gas Package). The package contains a recast of the 715/2009 gas regulation (Gas Regulation) and a recast of the 2009/73 gas directive (Gas Directive) aimed at reforming the existing EU regulatory framework to support the deployment of renewable and low-carbon gases, in particular hydrogen. As such, it represents a major development in the EU gas market.
