Appeal on Force Majeure for Contract Breach and Non-Delivery

The case concerned a dispute arising from a contract where one party failed to deliver goods as stipulated, leading the other party to seek damages for breach and the reimbursement of advance payments. The lower court had ruled in favor of the party who failed to deliver, citing a force majeure event related to the general economic instability and difficulties in obtaining raw materials, which they deemed unforeseeable and insurmountable. The highest court rejected this appeal, finding that while economic difficulties could potentially constitute *force majeure*, the lower court's finding that the specific circumstances preventing performance were truly irresistible and external to the debtor's control, given the contractual context, was a factual determination not subject to review on appeal, thus upholding the lower court's decision regarding the lack of liability for breach.
