Contractor Liability for Delayed Performance Despite Authority Modification
Synthèse Legislator
Généré par l'IAA party, obligated by a contract to complete construction work by a specified date, sought to invoke the doctrine of *force majeure* to be excused from liability for delays, claiming that a subsequent, unforeseen modification of the plans by the contracting authority constituted an insurmountable obstacle. The court rejected this appeal, reasoning that while the authority's modifications did alter the execution conditions, they did not render the performance absolutely impossible, thus the contractor remained responsible for timely completion despite the changes.
