If this principle has been around for hundreds of years, it must be codified in US laws, right?
Wrong. Unlike in countries such as France, one cannot make a claim under force majeure in the United States if the parties to a contract haven’t specifically provided for it. Typically, US courts construe force majeure clauses narrowly and won’t “read in” this type of provision when it is not included in the contract.
