Force Majeure: What’s It Good For?
Stuart Newman published in the New York Business Law Journal
“Your client has a problem. He manufactures and installs heavy equipment for the power transmission industry. He has a fixed price contract to build, ship and install equipment to a Canadian power plant. The work at his factory was completed on time and on budget, but between the time of contract and delivery – which will require a caravan of ten tractor-trailers – the Department of Transportation issued new federal regulations governing maximum consecutive driving hours and minimum off-duty hour for long-haul drivers. As a result, shipping and delivery costs will be substantially higher, and due to a shortage of drivers, completion of delivery will take longer than specified in the contact. The client needs to re-negotiate shipping and delivery costs.”
