Force majeure is a contractual term that's used describe unexpected or uncontrollable events that stop one or both parties from meeting their obligations. This might include things like natural disasters, strikes, wars, or government actions – essentially, anything outside the control of the parties involved.
A force majeure clause will often differ from contract to contract, depending on the nature of the business(s) involved, so if the clause is a feature in your business contract it’s important to check what exactly actually covers. If you’re unsure about your position or facing a potential dispute, it’s wise to seek legal advice and discuss your existing contracts with a specialist solicitor as soon as possible.
