Date:      28 May 2020
Time:     4.00pm to 6.00pm (Singapore Time) GMT +8

Covers case studies, practical queries from recent calls and requests for advice, and conclusions gleaned from discussions with speaker’s colleagues from around the world.

Containing or delaying the rapid global spread of COVID-19 is a major priority for governments and health services, but it also presents extremely significant challenges for international business especially with regards to business continuity. This webinar examines:

  • Understanding the differences between civil code and common law concepts of "force majeure"
  • Does your clause suspend or excuse contractual performance, or exclude liability for breach?
  • Does your clause include Coronavirus/Covid-19 as a valid force majeure event?
  • Is Coronavirus/Covid-19 the only cause of problems, or only of the causes?
  • How can you ensure that the opportunity to rely on force majeure is not lost?
  • What happens once the crisis has passed?
