If it's not written in the actual deal then it doesn't exist, the "good faith" differs between person, and you yourself is a person who very often writes very "intricate" deals that allows you to violate what the other signatory feels to be "in the spirit" of the agreement.
OTOH I would say that "scheming with others" to deny the provcrown is actually competing for it, therefore Bart does seem to be in breach of the terms if he's actively trying to obstruct.
