LIVE PREVIEW
"What is the legal interpretation of 'Force Majeure' under the Hague-Visby Rules in maritime contracts?"
✅ Verified Interpretation

Under the Hague-Visby Rules, "Force Majeure" is not explicitly defined as a standalone term. However, Article IV, Rule 2(q) provides an exemption for the carrier against liability for loss or damage arising from "Act of God" or other perils beyond the carrier's control. Courts generally interpret this to include extraordinary events that could not have been reasonably foreseen or prevented.
