ABSTRACT
Force Majeure clause in Contract is provided to give time extension without cost compensation if Contractor’s work is disrupted, resulting in standby of workforce and construction equipment. The Force Majeure covers a list of events, but it is not wide enough to cover all those events which cause disruption to Contractor’s work execution. Hence, Contractor seeks to notify any work-disrupting event, over which it has no control, under Force Majeure. However, such notifications, even though they do not strictly qualify, help Contractor at the end of the project for settlement of claims and in getting some relief on sympathetic grounds.
