The ongoing Coronavirus lockdown is having an unprecedented impact on business and trade. As a law firm, Phillips are seeing many enquiries from clients looking to review their commercial contracts in light of the pandemic.
In this YouTube video, Phillips Director Max Hope talks about some of the key provisions that will need to be examined when considering the effects of the Coronavirus on the enforceability of a contract, including the existence of any Force Majeure clause. Force Majeure clauses deals with unforeseeable circumstances that prevent a contract from being fulfilled.
