Summary

The petitioner challenged termination of its contract for delayed commencement and deficient performance. HELD- Where a force majeure clause extends to causes beyond the affected party’s reasonable control, persistent third-party obstruction materially preventing performance falls within the clause even if not expressly enumerated. Delay and shortfall caused thereby cannot be attributed to the contractor or justify termination. Petition allowed.
