Bad Faith Negotiation

Bad faith negotiation refers to a situation where one party does not genuinely intend to reach an agreement or act honestly during the negotiation process. Instead of engaging openly, they may use tactics to mislead, delay, or manipulate the other side. This can involve making unrealistic demands, withholding information, or agreeing to terms without the intention of honoring them. Such behavior undermines trust and can derail negotiations, making it difficult for all parties to find a fair and satisfactory resolution. Ultimately, it compromises the integrity of the negotiation process itself.
