- •Discusses in detail the development and application of the doctrine of Frustration within the law of contract
- •Deals clearly with the purpose, nature and construction of Force Majeure and similar clauses

- Covers “frustration of purpose” and illegality including supervening prohibitions, interference with performance and qualified prohibition, all of which are discussed in detail

- Discusses 70 new cases decided in England and in other common law jurisdictions
- Examines the impact on the law relating to frustration of recent cases arising out of the Covid-19 pandemic and “Brexit”

- Examines cases in frustration such as the Canary Wharf case (2019) (Brexit), the Cine-UK case (2021) (Covid-19), the Blankley case (2015) (incapacity and agency contracts) the Gemcorp case (2018) (fluctuating currency exchange), and the Spicejet and Salam Air cases (2021) (“hell or high water clauses”)
- Examines cases on Force Majeure clauses such as the Classic Maritime case (2019) (“contractual frustration” clauses and “exceptions” clauses and the requirements of causation), the Seadrill case (2018) (“reasonable endeavours”), and the Dwyer case (2021) (party designated force majeure and implied obligations of good faith)
