Understand misconceptions of force majeure in construction contracts.
Many of the things in the supply chain are goods and are governed by Article 2 of the Uniform Commercial Code. Several misconceptions about force majeure are that unless there is an actual clause in the contract that would excuse performance for labor strikes, weather, pandemics, shortage of supplies, etc., is that the seller is in trouble and does not have an out and that simply is not true. Article 2 legislates a provision that is written into the contract even if it specifically written in the contract. This video reviews this misconception in detail as well as other misconceptions of presupposed conditions under Article 2.
