BIBA Webinar - Force Majeure clauses presented by Weightmans 

If Covid-19 has taught us anything it is that the best laid plans can and do go astray when the unexpected rears its head.  Force majeure clauses are contractual escape hatches, giving those locked into contractual arrangements the ability to avoid potential liability where, through no fault of their own, it becomes impossible to perform a contract’s original terms. Andrew Cromby considers their uses and effect, as well as the operation of the contractual doctrine of “frustration” which can apply where there is no force majeure clause and the contract is derailed by the unexpected. Highlighted by the pandemic, the importance of ensuring that your contracts have suitable force majeure clauses has never been clearer.
