Legislation Required Clause Samples
The 'Legislation Required' clause establishes that certain actions or obligations under the agreement are contingent upon the enactment or amendment of specific laws or regulations. In practice, this clause may specify that a contract will only become effective, or certain provisions will only apply, if relevant legislative changes are passed by a governing body. This ensures that parties are not bound to perform duties that would be impossible, illegal, or impractical without the necessary legal framework, thereby allocating risk and providing clarity regarding the contract’s enforceability in light of pending or required legislation.
