Force Majeure and Coronavirus

Sinopse

Hi Everyone! In episode 45 of the podcast, Attorney Rosensweig is explaining how Covid-19 might be impacting your contractual rights/obligations.  If you have a contract with someone, can they simply not perform their end of the agreement by arguing that the global pandemic is making it impossible for them to fulfill their obligations?  What if, despite the global pandemic, they could still find ways, like providing services via Zoom, to perform but they're choosing not to?  For those who truly cannot perform right now because of a shelter-in-place order or some other reason beyond their control, do they need to worry about getting sued by the other party to the contract?  What exactly does your Force Majeure (Act of God) provision need to say to apply to this global pandemic and what if your contract has no Force Majeure provision at all?  Attorney Rosensweig is discussing all of this and more in this episode.
