Part of 1. Questions to the Cabinet Secretary for Economy and Transport – in the Senedd at 2:13 pm on 10 January 2018.
I'd like to thank the Member for this question. When I saw it submitted I was at first perplexed and then realised, actually, this is a piece of work that needs to be considered more deeply. I took a look at the clause and, in particular, condition 39.2, or part of 39.2, which states:
'However, if any such event prevents either Party from performing all of its obligations under the Contract for a period in excess of 6 months, either Party may terminate the Contract by notice in writing with immediate effect.'
My concern is—[Interruption.] Exactly, yes. I'd happily take up this issue. If the Member has any information that would enable my officials to consider instances of force majeure that are leading to unjust withdrawal of support under a contract, then please do share it with me.
