There are eight articles in the PRC Civil Code concerning force majeure. In Article 180, the concept of force majeure is defined: force majeure is unforeseeable, unavoidable and insurmountable objective events. However, in past academic discussions and practice cases, the concept of force majeure was often used in the multi-layer meaning, which is very unfavorable to the unity of the legal order. Therefore, to be able to play a guiding role in the future of the trial, this paper will seriously analyze the concept of force majeure in the context of the PRC Civil Code.
