Download or read book Contractual Performance and COVID 19 written by Franz Schwarz and published by Kluwer Law International B.V.. This book was released on 2021-11-25 with total page 610 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the COVID-19 pandemic continues to take its toll, contractual parties have frequently faced significant obstacles in performing their contractual obligations due to unexpected impediments arising from the pandemic and government measures taken in response. This indispensable book – the most comprehensive comparative examination of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on contractual performance – discusses the legal provisions and doctrines available to address these issues. The book examines under what circumstances COVID-19-related impediments may excuse contractual performance or lead to modification or termination of the affected contractual obligations in twelve representative civil and common law jurisdictions – the United States, England and Wales, Singapore, Brazil, Germany, France, Switzerland, Austria, Hong Kong, Costa Rica, China, and Russia. For each country, the book examines the following aspects in depth: the relevant fundamental legal principles; the various legal emergency valves available to an obligor to respond to COVID-19-related events; any remedies available to the obligee; selected examples for specific government measures related to particular types of contracts (e.g., construction, employment, lease agreements); and how the legal framework applies in typical factual scenarios. As further legal and factual developments occur, and with further jurisdictions being added, this publication will continue to be updated both online and in print. The book provides a detailed explanation under what conditions the emergency valves specific to each jurisdiction may apply. It cuts through the seeming complexity of the various legal rules and doctrines in these jurisdictions and shows that they often produce similar results in practice. The book thus opens up a wealth of insights for businesses, practitioners, and academics around the globe by providing an easily accessible analytical framework across key jurisdictions and typical factual scenarios. ‘Definitely mandatory reading for practitioners and academics alike!’ –Klaus Peter Berger, University of Cologne ‘Everyone who has had or is likely to have a brush with a COVID-19-induced legal issue would be well advised to keep this book within arm’s reach.’ – Davinder Singh, Davinder Singh Chambers LLC, Singapore ‘The “holy book” for all those lawyers whose clients become ensnared in the rising attempts to fix legal liability midst the rampant COVID-19.’ – Charles Brower, Twenty Essex, London

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Performance of Contracts: A Summary of Conditions in Contracts and Impossibility of Performance This is a revision and enlargement of an article on Conditions in Contracts which appeared in the Columbia Law Review for March, 1907. That article was written for the purpose of assisting students to understand a troublesome part of the law of Contracts and has served that purpose well enough to make a revision desirable. In the revision various new paragraphs or "rules" on conditions in contracts have been added, and the subject of impossibility of performance has been covered, necessitating a new title. The inaccuracies found in the original article have been corrected and some matters that seemed obscure have been explained more fully. Only a brief summary of the law relating to the performance of contracts, with the minimum of citation of authorities, has been attempted. The specific performance of contracts is not included. The summary is intended to be serviceable to those only who read with care the important cases. The references to 1 W. and 2 W. are to the designated volumes of Williston's Cases on Contracts. For further explanation of this summary, the reader is referred to Note 1, post. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1871 edition. Excerpt: ...that the seller informed the buyer that one of the horses had a cold on him, and that this as well as the swelled leg was apparent to every observer. The jury having found a verdict for the defendant, a rule for a new trial was moved on, on thp ground that where defects are patent, a warranty against them is inoperative. The court refused the rule, on the ground that the warranty did not apply to the time of the sale, but to a subsequent period. In Stucky v. Clyburn, Cheves, 186, a slave sold had a. hernia; this was known to the buyer. Yet it was held to be within an ex any circumstances from which an inference inconsistent with the representation might be drawn, even though in the absence of such representation they might be sufiicient to put the other party on inquiry.(z') P202 "" 4'51. Nor will it prevent the 'effect of a misrepresentation that the party making it recommended the other to consult his friends and professional advisers, for " no man can complain that another has too implicitly relied on the truth of what he has himself stated.(7c) 452. Thus where a misrepresentation is made by a vendor in respect to a lease, of the covenants in which the purchaser would by law be implied to have notice, the vendor will be equally bound by his statement as if no such implication a1'ose.(l) 453. On the same principle it was decided that where a vendor represented the house to be substantially and well built, and it proved to be the contrary, the vendor was not entitled-to specific performance, though the defendant might of course have inquired into its actual state.(m) 454. In Harris v. Kemble, (n) there was a contract conse quent upon certain misrepresentations as to the profits of a '...

Download or read book Force Majeure and Hardship Under General Contract Principles written by Christoph Brunner and published by Kluwer Law International B.V.. This book was released on 2009-01-01 with total page 626 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lawyers involved in international commercial transactions know well that unforeseen events affecting the performance of a party often arise. Not surprisingly, exemptions for non-performance are dealt with in a significant number of arbitral awards. This very useful book thoroughly analyzes contemporary approaches, particularly as manifested in case law, to the scope and content of the principles of exemption for non-performance which are commonly referred to as 'force majeure' and 'hardship.' The author shows that the 'general principles of law' approach addresses this concern most effectively. Generally accepted and understood by the business world at large, this approach encompasses principles of international commercial contracts derived from a variety of legal systems. It's most important 'restatements' are found in the 1980 United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG) and the UNIDROIT Principles of International Commercial Contracts (UPICC). Establishing specific standards and "case groups" for the exemptions under review, the analysis treats such recurring elements as the following: contractual risk allocations; unforeseeability of an impediment; impediments beyond the typical sphere of risk and control of the obligor; responsibility for third parties (subcontractors, suppliers); legal impediments (acts of public authority) and effect of mandatory rules; involvement of states or state enterprises; interpretation of force majeure and hardship clauses; hardship threshold test; frustration of purpose; irreconcilable differences; comparison with exemptions under domestic legal systems (impossibility of performance, frustration of contract, impracticability) The book is a major contribution to the development of the use of general principles of law in international commercial arbitration. It may be used as a comprehensive commentary on the force majeure and hardship provisions of the UPICC, as well as on Art. 79 of the CISG. In addition, as an insightful investigation into the fundamental question of the limits of the principle of sanctity of contracts, this book is sure to capture the attention of business lawyers and interested academics everywhere.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Legal thinkers typically justify contract law on the basis of economics or promissory morality. But Peter Benson takes another approach. He argues that contract is best explained as a transfer of rights governed by a conception of justice. The result is a comprehensive theory of contract law congruent with Rawlsian liberalism.

Download or read book Measuring Service Contract Performance written by Andrew P. Hunter and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2021-04-15 with total page 72 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Researching and manufacturing fighters, ships, and tanks are only part of the picture for defense contracts. Contracting for services accounts for over 41 percent of DoD contract obligations in 2018. Services include maintaining equipment, moving people and things, creating software, providing server space, and construction. Service contracting is challenging as services can be difficult to define and measure. But services are increasingly central to the U.S. economy. The Department of Defense seeks to attract new firms that will increase its speed and agility—many of these firms are service providers, e.g., data analytics or cloud computing. CSIS looked at a million contracts to evaluate how three factors influence performance: 1.service complexity 2.contract-management capacity 3.vendor’s history working with a DoD contracting office The existing data fails to explain large differences in contract office performance. More DoD transparency about contracting office capacity could help make a case for further investments. The report also found that when vendors and contracting offices have a longer history, they tend to have better results. That means DoD needs to think not only about recruiting new partners, but also about helping them succeed.
