'Force Majeure' is a term that is in vogue in the current scenario, especially when it comes to sporting contracts. The term has been in the news in Indian football too, with I-League clubs East Bengal and Chennai City activating the 'Force Majeure' clause to cancel the contracts of their players from after April 30, 2020.
With the financial crunch that has befallen almost every institution in the wake of the ongoing Coronavirus crisis across the globe, the two I-League clubs have invoked the so-called clause, which means they will not have to pay the players their salaries after April 30.
