French term or phrase:relâche
This is from a contract between a theatre and the producer of a concert to be held there next year. In the cancellation clause, the contract lists all the cases of force majeur, including "relâche ordonnée par les autorités publiques"
Here's the clause:
Le présent contrat se trouvera suspendu ou annulé de plein droit et sans indemnité d'aucune sorte, en cas de non respect par le PRODUCTEUR des termes du présent contrat et dans tous les cas reconnus de force majeure tels que notamment guerre, révolution, incendie, inondation, épidémie, deuil national, émeutes, grève générale, grève des services publics ou du personnel du Théâtre, grève des transports, **relâche ordonnée par les autorités publiques**, etc. Selon la jurisprudence, la force majeure se définit comme un événement imprévisible, inévitable et insurmontable rendant impossible l’exécution du contrat.
I'm assuming this means that public authorities order the theatre closed, but don't know what that is called in theatre or legal jargon.
Can anybody help?
