Legislator summary

AI generated

The court dismissed the contractor's claim that the epidemic constituted a force majeure preventing contract performance. The plaintiff argued the epidemic caused the breach, but the defendant failed to prove a direct causal link between the pandemic and the defective execution. Consequently, the court ruled that the epidemic did not legally excuse the contractual obligation.
