Abstract

The issue of classification of circumstances excluding liability in civil circulation remains practically unexplored. In practice, due to the lack of a clear definition of the concept of “force majeure”, as well as a coherent classification picture, it is not possible to formulate an appropriate reservation on circumstances excluding liability and avoid forced violation of the norms of current legislation.

The purpose of the study is to consider the classification of force majeure circumstances, as well as to develop our own classification of circumstances excluding liability. The main task of the study is to consider classifications of force majeure circumstances developed in civil science.

During the research, the methods of analogy, concretization, comparison, analysis, and observation were applied.

Conclusions: the issue of classification of force majeure circumstances does not seem to be of primary importance for civil science, however, the development of this issue could facilitate in practice the formation of a reservation on force majeure circumstances in contractual obligations and, as a result, simplify and minimize litigation in the field of circumstances excluding liability, as well as assist in the development of a legal definition of the concept “an irresistible force”.
