And (in UK law at least) you have the concept of "frustration of
contract". If my factory is contracted to supply 1000 drives a day, and the
factory burns down, then my customer can't sue me because I am willing but
unable to comply with the contract.
That is the crucial point - if both parties WANT to comply, but one (or both)
sides CAN'T comply because of circumstances out of their control, the contract
becomes void.

There are people who think Steve Jobs was a god. Which would make the apple
litigation an act of god.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

My original post was responding to the question "Could apple receive a
letter from Samsung, "due to unforseen setbacks in
litigation, we must now triple our prices for parts"."
In this case, unless Samsung has an iron-clad reason for increasing the price,
Apple will just sue Samsung again. Even if Samsung refuses to deliver any more
components, Apple would sue and win a breach of contract for direct costs
involved in finding another supplier.
I understand that there are circumstances that would result in a supplier being
unable to meet his commitments, but if a supplier wants to remain in business,
he has to do what he agreed to do. Suppliers have to stick with prices.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
