Supervening Illegality Clause Samples
The Supervening Illegality clause defines what happens if a contract or any of its obligations become illegal due to changes in law or regulation after the agreement is made. In practice, this clause typically allows either party to suspend or terminate the affected parts of the contract without penalty if fulfilling them would violate new legal requirements. Its core function is to protect both parties from being forced to perform actions that have become unlawful, thereby allocating risk and ensuring compliance with the law.
