Speaking Engagements

MaryBeth Heydt will present, "Commercial Leases and Frustration of Purpose, Impossibility Defenses: Strategies for Landlords and Tenants," at Strafford webinars on Monday, April 8, 2024.

Listen as the expert panel reviews the status of notable landlord-tenant cases that have utilized the common law doctrines of impossibility and frustration of purpose. The panel will advise on best practices when this defense is asserted and when, in the alternative, the contract language will be the determining factor.

Topics:

  • What are the common law doctrines/defenses used in commercial landlord-tenant cases?
  • How did the pandemic affect the evolution of case law related to certain contractual and common law defenses, and what are current cases demonstrating the viability of these defenses today?
  • When must a tenant rely on the force majeure clause in a lease?
