Presentation topic: Price Volatility and its Legal Implications
Topic description: This presentation examines a number of consequences of extreme price volatility. Price Volatility leads, often, to delivery default and the legal issues that arise are as follows:
- Is a disappointing seller obliged to find a replacement cargo (and how quickly)?
- Is a disappointed seller obliged to find a replacement buyer (and how quickly)?
- How hard do they have to try?
- When might price shifts excuse a seller from its delivery obligations? Or a buyer from its purchase obligation?
A series of interesting case studies will also be shared and cover:- Delivery; Liability, Force Majeure; Hardship Clauses; Effective Dispute Resolution.
