Abstract
At a time when many companies around the world are incurring losses due to the spread of COVID-19 and related government restrictions, which make it difficult to fulfill certain contractual obligations, the trend towards numerous litigation and arbitration cases becomes obvious. Contracts and local laws provide various legal mechanisms to deal with such problems, but in general most require proof that fulfilling specific contractual obligations has become extremely burdensome or impossible. The article analyzes what evidence can help in proving this.
