Natural disasters, strikes, and terrorist attacks can all be force majeure events.IS THE CORONAVIRUS OUTBREAK A FORCE MAJEURE EVENT? The coronavirus is “not carte blanche to say force majeure,” said Scannapieco, a shareholder at law firm Baker Donelson. “You have look at the facts and circumstances.”Cross-border deals typically include clauses that allow for non-performance during force majeure events, said Vanessa Miller, a U.S. lawyer at Foley & Lardner. These clauses are sometimes “cut and paste” and “not reviewed as carefully as they ought to be,” Miller said.
French oil major Total said a day later it had rejected a force majeure notice from an unnamed Chinese LNG buyer, the first global energy supplier to push back publicly against such an effort.
