Force Majeure

Obligations, Compensation, Consumer and Dispute Resolution

Force majeure is an extraordinary event that develops outside the debtor’s sphere of activity and operations and that could not be foreseen or prevented by reasonable measures. Not every difficulty counts as force majeure. How the event affects the contractual obligation is examined separately in terms of impossibility, adaptation, default and the allocation of risk in the contract.
