Exoneration from civil liability. Force majeure and the fortuitous event
Exoneration from civil liability. Force majeure and the fortuitous event

Summary/Abstract: The provisions of the current Civil Code regulated as cases of exoneration from civil liability the force majeure, the fortuitous event, the deed of the victim and the deed of the third party. These cases are common to tort liability and contractual civil liability, so we will analyze, in a unitary manner, the legal provisions adopted in this matter. In the current context of the COVID-19 pandemic, the question has been raised, especially in contractual matters, of the possibility of invoking force majeure as an exonerating cause of contractual civil liability, so that the question arises of analyzing the conditions under which force majeure may be invoked with a view to exoneration from civil liability.
