They also often see this in relationships, probably more. When you have these little fights that turn into huge things? At some point, it`s just the angry brains of two people turning everything into a malicious argument: EVERYTHING revolves around something else, who takes out the trash and whose mother is difficult to deal with and who said the thing at this party and so on, everything becomes this nebulous subject without center. If you stopped in the middle and tried to get them to talk about the initial problem, they would both have a hard time doing it because now it was “never about X” for both parties, even if they were perfectly happy before. If you`re really angry with someone right now, it`s almost impossible to come up with a definite argument in good faith: because there are no more goal posts. The most dangerous people are those who understand the social benefit of arguing in bad faith, but are smart enough to switch to good-faith tactics only under pressure. These are the career grifters. Yes, just because an actor playing a criminal boss on a fictional TV show does something doesn`t mean it`s legal or advisable. This is especially true since Tony Soprano traditionally did not care about what was legal or ethical, or the impact of his own actions. I apologize in advance for the wall of text, but there is something we need to discuss. A recurring theme in this submarine, triggered by bad news from Tesla (especially schedule delays), is that Tesla acted in “bad faith.” Sometimes this statement sounds like an accusation: “Model 3 delayed? But I gave them $1000! Tesla will be prosecuted for his bad faith! I HAVE RIGHTS, DAMN IT!!! Sorry, this is my main reddit, I don`t want the people at Deets b/c to be able to connect the dots to non-public information.
If there were only one principle for what would be “arguing in bad faith,” I would probably suggest it: “any method of reasoning that does not attempt to understand opposing views and justifications on the relevant issue.” Many of the symptoms of malicious arguments stem from a lack of interest in actually engaging with the ideas, arguments, and objections presented. The arguments of the straw man and the ad hominem are the classic examples, as well as the simple fact of not reading the answer or trying to find something that can be attacked inside, and so on. One could legitimately “move the goal posts” by saying, “Actually, my initial view of X was not properly elaborated, but given Y, I think this about X,” but someone who argues in bad faith won`t, because saving face is far more important than the open development of one`s position. Bad faith deals PRIMARILY with dealing with its own policyholders, either by denying legitimate claims, unreasonable claims resolution requirements, misleading limits or coverage, unreasonable delays, etc. has nothing to do with third party liability. I would now like to file a small claims lawsuit to recover the funds. While reading online, I discovered that a tenant can choose to sue up to 2x the deposit amount for bad faith withholding. I have very little experience in law or obtaining legal services. “Your concern is first and foremost persuasion” Well, that`s the definition of malicious reasoning, right? No legal advice per se, but I am offered a contract where the other party cannot abide by the terms of the contract until I sign it. If their lawyer does it, is he even responsible for ensuring that a contract is entered into in good faith? Or are they just billable hours? USA / Florida here.
I believe that bad faith is only a function of a lack of respect or goodwill. Unless everyone imagines that everyone should approve of their intentions, some imagine having ambitions that they don`t think others should have achieved. Then, some will choose their words for purposes other than enlightenment. Then some will not understand, but will only impose their will. A malicious actor can understand all opposing points of view and always argue in bad faith because he does not want to shed light on the true nature of the disagreement. Come to legalfaq.org to find legal resources for tenants in every state. The short version: The standards and practices of my insurance company in Illinois seem to have made it impossible to reimburse a claim, but still doubled my deductible without paying me money, and then quietly canceled my policy a year and a half later. I still have a damaged roof and have been paying four times the insurance premiums since December. I believe that while insurance companies are generally a predatory industry that stacks things very legally against payments, I have a prima facie case against them because the way my interactions with them have been undermined represents a legally problematic level of bad faith on more than one front. I can`t give you legal advice, but (usually) it`s a much more difficult case for the seller.
