THE BREACH OF THE IMPLIED COVENANT OF GOOD FAITH SHOULD HAVE BEEN DISMISSED AS DUPLICATIVE OF THE BREACH OF CONTRACT CAUSE OF ACTION (THIRD DEPT).

The Third Department, modifying Supreme Court, determined the breach of the implied covenant of good faith should have been dismissed as duplicative of the breach of contract action:

Supreme Court … erred by denying that part of defendants’ motion seeking dismissal of the cause of action alleging breach of the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing. A review of the allegations in the amended complaint discloses that this cause of action is based upon the same set of facts and seeks similar damages as the breach of contract cause of action. In view of this, the breach of the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing cause of action is duplicative of the breach of contract cause of action and, therefore, it should have been dismissed … . Shmaltz Brewing Co., LLC v Dog Cart Mgt. LLC, 2022 NY Slip Op 01086, Third Dept 2-17-22
