This book is part of Law Brief's new series of essential guides for legal practitioners covering what you need to know about how various aspects of UK law have been affected by the Covid-19 coronavirus pandemic.

Force majeure clauses often languish unnoticed in the boilerplate section of a contract until something goes wrong, at which point they are considered in minute detail in the hope of being relied upon. Frustration is a little-known common law doctrine that can act as a default argument in the absence of a force majeure clause, or where the force majeure clause does not cover the event in question. Covid-19 has brought these issues to prominence once again, and this book aims to outline the key provisions, together with a series of practical steps that need to be taken in order to deal with these issues as smoothly as possible.
