‘The simple effect of the Covid-19 lockdown announced on 23 March 2020 was that life, and business, changed for everyone. People and organisations could no longer do things they had planned or intended to do, and in many instances, difficult decisions had to be made, and some were made hastily, without thinking through the ramifications. As time goes on, many will be faced with the question of whether steps they took, or didn’t take, mean that they are in breach of a contractual obligation; on the other side of the coin, others will be wondering whether they have a remedy for not having received goods or services they expected to on time, or at all.’
