The term "force majeure" is not explicitly defined under Turkish legislation, and parties often contractually agree on a force majeure clause in their contracts typically as a part of a standard boiler plate. Where companies do not have such explicit contractual protection, the Turkish Code of Obligations may still provide certain relief for parties' performance of their obligations. Nonetheless, to evaluate and manage the impact of Coronavirus on commercial contracts, companies should consider carrying out an internal assessment of their existing contracts, and also adopting a strategy to negotiate the contractual terms of any future transactions.
