There is no clear provision in how the Jordanian Civil Code deals with the principles of good faith and freedom of contract. Interpretations can go either way, although there is a notable tendency that gravitates towards good faith. One significant aspect of the principle of good faith is that it provides a solid ground of contractual and legal interpretation of controversial construction issues such as time bar clauses. This research highlights how time bar clauses in construction contracts may affect the rights and responsibilities of Employers and Contractors under the Jordanian law. Often application of the principle of good faith produces a result similar to that under time bar clauses in FIDIC rules. As far as the author is aware, this issue has not been researched comprehensively before from technical and legal standpoints. This article represents a first attempt to examine the issues arising in this difficult and important subject.

关于约旦民法典如何处理诚实信用和合同自由的原则，尚无明确规定。解释可以以任何一种方式进行，尽管有一种明显的趋势倾向于真诚。诚实信用原则的一个重要方面是，它为有争议的建筑问题（例如时间限制条款）提供了合同和法律解释的坚实基础。这项研究突出了根据约旦法律，建筑合同中的时间限制条款可能会如何影响雇主和承包商的权利和责任。通常，应用诚信原则会产生与FIDIC中的时间限制条款相似的结果规则。据作者所知，从技术和法律的角度出发，尚未对该问题进行过全面的研究。本文是研究这个困难而重要的主题中出现的问题的首次尝试。
