Description
Businesses in all industries and locations are facing contract performance and enforcement issues right now. Although force majeure clauses are most common in construction and real estate contracts, as a result of COVID-19, more businesses are likely to add such clauses and to ask for insurance coverage. Be prepared with guidance that directly addresses the multi-jurisdictional variations—in the US and globally.
COVID-19 as a Trigger for Force Majeure: A Global Survey is an FAQ eBook providing answers to key questions such as:
• How does COVID-19 affect contractual obligations, including insurance policies?
• How are force majeure provisions, especially the ones in insurance contracts, interpreted in the jurisdictions in which a business operates?
• What types of events qualify as force majeure in those jurisdictions? Under what circumstances will an event be considered a “qualifying event”?
• Do courts there construe force majeure clauses broadly or narrowly and on what basis?
• What insurance coverage for business interruption might be available to a claim of force majeure?
• What steps should you take if you think force majeure might apply to your contracts?
• Are there additional contract provisions or principles that a party can leverage to excuse its lack of performance in that jurisdiction?
• What should you do if you receive a force majeure notice?
• Are there additional remedies for the counterparty?
