Disputes on

(VLR) In the signature section at the end of each contract, representatives of each party are usually stated. A dispute happened when a party assumed that the representative was not the lawful representative or was just a branch director, so the contract was invalid. The following disputes developments with the arbitral tribunal’s analysis could help prevent damages due to disputes for readers’ reference.

(VLR) “Time bar meant a time limit during which entities/ individuals were entitled to sue, requesting the Court to resolve civil cases to protect their infringed legitimate rights and interests; if that time limit ended, the right to sue was lost” (Clause 3 Article 150 of 2015 Civil Code). However, paying billions of VND just because of not knowing that the time bar already expired or there were cases where the time bar was “unlimited” (law suit could be started at any time), or “extended” (time excluded from time bar) through some lawsuits below so that you could see the importance of time bar.

(VLR) Never the term “force majeure” has been as much concerned as since COVID-19 through a number of cases, such as, The tenant did not pay the rent, returned the house, reclaimed the deposit for the reason of force majeure. Was that right? Logistics service companies, trading companies could not deliver, receive goods or violated delivery deadlines because of a shortage of workers due to concentrated isolation, even companies had to close due to COVID-19. Could they refuse to pay damages? Could we claim insurance companies for damages caused by COVID-19? For flights canceled by a government order due to COVID-19, had the travel company to return the airfares or deposits to its travellers immediately? Borrowing money from banks to buy and sell goods or services but not being able to do business, was it allowed to refuse or delay the payment of interest or late payment of principal due to COVID-19? Bank was unable to collect debts due to COVID-19. Was it a force majeure event?
