Join us for a webinar on a reminder of how force majeure works in English law, with a focus on shipping contracts.

• What events are covered under my force majeure clause?
• Can I still rely on force majeure now? foreseeability of the force majeure event or its effect.
• Causation: is my performance actually being affected by force majeure?
• Do I have to make extra efforts to perform?
• Should I give or renew a force majeure notice, and what if I don’t do it?
• Force majeure clauses in charters, freight terms, and ship-building contracts.
• Other helpful contract clauses in “force majeure” situations.
• Help from English common-law: frustration and illegality.
• Amending or ending a contract by agreement.
