Frequently asked — Gwangju

What is force majeure and how should I draft it in India-EU contracts?
Force majeure excuses a party from performance due to extraordinary events beyond their control. Draft it specifically: list specific events (war, pandemic, natural disaster, government-imposed trade sanctions) rather than using a vague general clause. Include: (1) notification requirement (notify within 5-10 days of the force majeure event), (2) duty to mitigate, (3) maximum duration before either party can terminate. COVID-19 and Russia-Ukraine conflict showed the importance of well-drafted force majeure clauses.
