مدى انطباق نظرية القوة القاهرة على جائحة فيروس كورونا (SARS-CoV-2)‎ في إطار العقود المدنية

Abstract EN

The coronavirus pandemic (SARS-cov-2) has impacted the performance of contractual obligations by making them impossible to fulfill in some cases, due to government measures taken by the state to counteract the virus, the infection with it, risks of infection, or the economic consequences of its outbreak; this made us think about studying the topic of the extent to which the force majeure theory applies to the effects of that pandemic, in order to clarify the legal basis on which the debtor can rely on in proving lack of its contractual liability that may arise from non-performance of the contract; which required us to divide this research into two sections, in the first, we clarified the meaning of force majeure and in the second, we clarified the application of the conditions for the emergence of force majeure to the coronavirus pandemic (SARS-cov-2).
