NOVEL IMPACT? COVID-19 AND FORCE MAJEURE PROVISIONS

The COVID-19 outbreak has posed unprecedented challenges to companies big and small.  Many have been forced to re-evaluate the viability of their contractual obligations or question the ability of their counterparty to comply with the contract.  Businesses should be aware of how they may be affected by force majeure clauses or other common law contract principles.  Our firm has prepared this memorandum to provide a brief overview of force majeure analysis by courts in New York, Delaware, and Florida.

Nuestra firma ha preparado este memorándum que incluye un breve análisis del tratamiento de casos de fuerza mayor a cargo de los tribunales de los estados de Nueva York, Delaware y Florida.
