Force majeure clauses in commercial contracts during the COVID-19 pandemic have raised significant legal and ethical considerations, particularly in India. The preface to such discussions often delves into the unprecedented nature of the pandemic and its profound impact on global economies. It may highlight the need for reevaluation of contractual obligations in light of unforeseeable circumstances and the principles of fairness and equity. In India, where legal systems may vary, the interpretation and enforcement of force majeure clauses can be complex, given the diverse nature of commercial contracts and industries. This preface sets the stage for a deeper exploration of the legal framework surrounding force majeure events and their implications for contractual obligations in the Indian context.
