good

good
Beneficial rather than harmful; effective rather than ineffective; genuine rather than forged or counterfeited. As applied to commercial paper, genuine rather than certain of collection. Commonwealth v Stone, 45 Mass (4 Met) 43, 48. As applied to articles offered for sale, of a merchantable quality. Northern Supply Co. v Wangard, 123 Wis 1, 100 N W 1066. As used in a representation by a restaurant owner that he would serve a customer a "good" sandwich, the term signifies no more than agreeable to the taste, and is too indefinite to be the basis of an express warranty of the quality of the food. Albrecht v Rubinstein, 135 Conn 243, 63 A2d 158, 7 ALR2d 1022. See certified check.
