All costs for the grower or exporter?In unmediated deal there are often tenacious - terminus supply contracts , where the Cartesian product is full tailored to the wishes of the ( end ) customer . Such contracts are not without obligation : a grower has an obligation to drive home , a buyer has an obligation to purchase . It is not surprising that the exporter , out of his business pursuit , tries to get out of this by invoke force-out majeure .
recollect up a marriage proposal togetherIt is important to realise that if one of the parties or both parties consider going to lawcourt , a judge will assess the situation in terms of what the company have agreed upon and what the intention was of the party . In doing so , a judge naturally also considers what is sane and fairish . He then marvel what would be the best solution for both parties together . If , in the above case , the grower and the exporter are before the royal court , there is a respectable chance that the tribunal will ask them to intercede and come back with a proposal ( accept by both company ) about the division of the damage . But even without the intercession of a evaluator , this is the estimable way .

So the exporter invokes force majeure and the grower rejects it . Both are shocked by the other party ’s chemical reaction . you may keep this up unendingly : " No , I do n’t desire to take away " and " Yes , you should take away " , stand by arguments from both side . If neither need to take a step in the counselling of the other party , you dig yourself both in , in your own trench . And in the end , you only have loser . One political party has to pay and go bankrupt , or never wants to do business with the other party again . The other party is happy that it ended well financially and that his company still subsist , but is discomfited about the fact that a business family relationship of many eld end in this means .
