Various courts in India have also recognized COVID-19 as force majeure.
Force majeure clauses are risk attribution clauses, which specifically deal with the attribution of risk arising out of a force majeure event. Force majeure events are often broadly defined as unforeseeable events, over which parties have no control, which are not a result of a default of one party and which cannot be prevented by parties by exercising reasonable care and caution.
