Contracts legislation - Frustrated contracts - Other provisions relating to application

69: This subpart does not apply in certain circumstances

You could also call this:

“Sometimes this part of the law doesn't count for certain agreements”

This part of the law doesn’t apply to certain types of agreements. You don’t need to worry about it for:

Agreements about moving goods by sea, except for some special types of ship rental deals.

Insurance agreements, unless they are about a specific situation mentioned in another part of the law.

Agreements to buy or sell specific things that can’t happen because those things no longer exist.

If you’re dealing with any of these kinds of agreements, different rules might apply instead of the ones in this part of the law.
