WEBINAR – 24 March 2026 Have You Been Prevented From Performing Your Contract

We hosted a webinar on Force Majeure Claims arising from the conflict in the Middle East.

The session explored practical scenarios affecting the market, including:

  • Whether legitimate non-performance under shipping contracts can be transposed onto downstream trading contracts
  • Complex issues of causation and mitigation on force majeure declarations
  • Challenges arising in string contracts with differing obligations
  • Possible areas of mitigation that traders, refineries, and petrochemical plants should consider
Delivered by Baldev Bhinder, the webinar provided practical legal guidance for commodity market participants navigating disrupted supply chains.
