Consequences of breach of contract due to COVID-19 under the Argentine Law

Abstract

This paper addresses the problem caused by the effects of breach of contracts entered into in Argentina as a result of the coronavirus pandemic. To begin with, due to the coronavirus pandemic, the governments of several countries worldwide have decided to take different emergency measures, among which compulsory social distancing stands out. Said situation has generated an abrupt fall in the various economic activities and, therefore, the impossibility to fulfill many ongoing contracts. In view of this, one might ask oneself what remedies or solutions are offered by positive law to solve this problem.
