4. Article 1218 of the French Civil Code re-defined force majeure on Oct. 1 2016. For the first time, it codified the three essential elements that comprise force majeure: (i) externality (l’extériorité); (ii) unforeseeability (l’imprévisbilité); and (iii) inevitability (l’inévitabilité). The French concept of force majeure, inherited from a Roman law desire to restrict strict liability, centered initially around the quite restrictive concept of ‘irresistibility’ but under Article 1218 has moved to a more flexible concept of ‘inevitability’ (e.g., whether the effects were unavoidable) to respond to the demands of international trade
