How do you define Force Majeure?

Answer 1

A "force majeure" (Latin superior force) is an external influence beyond one's control. In contract law, it is analogous to casus fortuitous (chance occurrences) or "acts of God" in that non-completion is caused by an occurrence outside the control of the contract parties.

Answer 2

• t means an irresistible force, one that is unforeseen or inevitable. "you cannot stop it from happening". circumstances such as floods, fire, earthquakes and accidents fall under this doctrine

Answer 3

Force Majeure is really talking about Acts of God. They are things outside the control of the parties and it is designed to protect parties from inadvertent losses.
