Angela Swan on COVID-19 and Force Majeure Stereo Decisis

On this episode of Stereo Decisis, Oliver Pulleyblank (https://www.pulleyblank.ca/about-1), Hilary Young (https://www.unb.ca/faculty-staff/directory/law/young-hilary.html) and Robert Danay (https://www.linkedin.com/in/robert-danay-335127127/?originalSubdomain=ca)are joined by Angela Swan, who was recently described as "nothing short of a venerated celebrity in both Canadian contract law and the Canadian legal community at large. (https://historyproject.allard.ubc.ca/law-history-project/profile/angela-swan)"
Angela brings her decades of experience and expertise to discuss COVID-19 and contractual clauses such as force majeure and material adverse event/change. In so doing, she mentions Akorn, Inc. v. Fresenius Kabi AG - No. 2018-0300-JTL, 2018 Del. Ch. LEXIS 325 (Ch. Oct. 1, 2018) (https://courts.delaware.gov/Opinions/Download.aspx?id=279250), which is one of the only cases in which a court actually found that a material adverse change clause was properly invoked by a party to a contract.
In obiter dicta, Hilary recommends a podcast called My Dad Wrote a Porno (https://www.mydadwroteaporno.com/), Oliver recommends the Raven DeBriefs (https://raventrust.com/raven-briefings-a-podcast/) podcast and Rob recommends a Netflix documentary called Circus of Books (https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/circus_of_books).
