This post is to remind myself that I'm going to add to this page because I also have to deliver a presentation on force majeure to my legal class. Yes, don't forget, self. --Psients 04:25, 14 Sep 2004 (UTC)
Does anyone know how to pronounce this term correctly?
- Majeure is normally pronounced Mahj-yer in England. --Legis (talk - contributions) 21:40, 30 April 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Merge with Act of God
Aren't these two terms legally the same? --DDG 20:14, 12 January 2006 (UTC)
- No, as war isn't an act of God, for example. David 20:41, 6 March 2006 (UTC)
Do we need these references to a deity? What about just saying forces of nature? Wikipedia is supposed to be neutral. --Kadakas 18:41, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
- I think we're tied into historical precedent.. I'm not a lawyer but I think "Act of God" has a specific legal meaning. —Cliffb 23:56, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Examples?
Are there any appropriate historical examples to add here? That would be a good thing to add for those knowledgeable about the subject. Titoxd(?!? - help us) 04:40, 10 April 2006 (UTC)
- Yes, perhaps any relevant cases that the layperson would be familiar with. JD79 13:43, 29 June 2006 (UTC)
