RHT LAW: Asia guide to force majeure

In light of how drastic the COVID19 situation is, RHT Law - together with some of our partner law firms in the ASEAN Plus Group - has prepared the following table summarising various Asian jurisdictions’ positions on force majeure.

Since RHTLaw Asia’s last article on force majeure in light of COVID-19 which was published on 14 February 2020, the number of infected has risen over 700% to over 420,000, and the number of deaths has risen over 1,300% to over 18,000.

This guide covers 10 jurisdictions: Cambodia, China, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, South Korea, Thailand and Vietnam.

The table below is the collective effort of over 15 lawyers from 9 firms across 10 jurisdictions and showcases the seamless cooperation within the ASEAN Plus Group.
