This clause may seem confusing given
the language utilised, but it is actually rather simple. Vis Major and Casus Fortuitus
are legal terms used to describe a "superior
force or chance occurrence, essentially a so called “act of God”. Such occurrences
include all the items referred to in clause 22.1.1.1 to 22.1.1.5 as well as occurrences
such as hurricanes, wars, earthquakes and the like. This
clause is simply stipulating that the Landlord will be freed from performing
any of its obligations in terms of the Lease in the event that any such events
occur. It is important to note that the Landlord’s obligations will not be
suspended indefinitely, but only for the period that the event in question
continues.
