The Effect of War on Contracts
None
Book • 2021
John Hanna's 'The Effect of War on Contracts', published in the Columbia Law Review in 1918, examines the legal implications of war on contractual obligations, including debt contracts.
The article asserts that the statute of limitations is tolled during wartime, preventing the need for immediate lawsuits.
It suggests that interest payments on debts may be suspended during war, arguing that lenders should bear the loss of not having their money in such circumstances.
Hanna's analysis provides insights into how legal systems adjust contractual requirements amid the chaos and disruption of armed conflict.
The article primarily explores private debtors rather than sovereign debtors.
