The first in a series on current contractual issues, this On Demand explores the topics of force majeure and frustration – looking at the core principles together with the impact for contracts that events such as the Covid-19 pandemic have had and will have.
This On Demand discusses the recent case law in New Zealand and England in both areas. The courts’ application of the ‘multi-factorial’ test for frustration will be considered. Will force majeure and frustration affect performance of large numbers of contracts?
