Hierdie word ook na verwys as \u2018n \u201cact of God\u201d of \u2018n <i>force majeure (vis maior)<\/i>.<\/p>\n<p>Met die verspreiding van die COVID-19 virus, ontstaan die kritiese vraag by kontrakpartye oor die die moontlike be\u00ebindiging van \u2018n ooreenkoms indien een van die partye nie hul verpligtinge in terme van die kontrak meer kan nakom nie, weens die impak van die virus op die normale gang van sake.<\/p>\n<p>Die <i>force majeure<\/i> klousules word deur die Suid-Afrikaanse howe toegepasl deur die kontraktuele beginsel bekend as <strong>onmoontlikmaking van prestasie<\/strong>. Hierdie beginsel stipuleer dat indien prestasie in terme van die kontrak objektief onmoontlik word nadat die kontrak gesluit is, sonder dat dit die skuld van enige van die partye is en weens onvoorsiene en onvermydelike gebeure, word die verpligting tot prestasie en die wederkerige reg tot prestasie uitgewis.<\/p>\n<p>Die drempelvereistes vir onmoontlikmaking van prestasie wat die skuldenaar van sy pligte onthef, is kortliks dat prestasie deur \u2018n skuldenaar (bv. die terugbetaling van \u2018n lening, betaling van huur, tersi\u00eare onderrig lewer) fisies of regtens onmoontlik word na kontraksluiting, en nie bloot moeilik uitvoerbaar of meer uitdagend is nie. Dit sluit nie gevalle in waar die onmoontlikheid die skuld van die skuldenaar was nie. Byvoorbeeld, as \u2018n huis verhuur word en dit sonder dat dit die huurder se skuld is, deur \u2018n brand vernietig word, is die huurkontrak be\u00ebindig en die huurder se verpligting om huur te betaal, val weg; waar die brand egter veroorsaak word deur die huurder se nalatigheid, sal die huurverpligtinge voortduur. Dieselfde sal geld as, byvoorbeeld, \u2018n lokaal bespreek word vir \u2018n funksie en die funksie kan nie voortgaan nie weens \u2018n verbod op byeenkomste van meer as \u2018n 100 mense wat ingestel is om verspreiding van \u2018n virus te voorkom, soos ons tans w\u00eareldwyd ervaar.<\/p>\n<p>Dit word gesien dat die effek van die stappe wat voorgeskryf word deur ons regering, dit onmoontlik mag word om sekere verpligtinge in terme van kontrakte uit te voer, en mag, afhangende van die <i>spesifieke omstandighede<\/i>, die partye onthef van die vereiste om aan al die kontraksbepalings te voldoen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Meeste kontrakte maak voorsiening vir die opskorting van \u2018n ooreenkoms in \u2018n geval waar onvoorsiene omstandighede verhoed dat iemand die bepalings van die kontrak nakom.
