I have heard of court cases where the statement “Acts of God” is interpreted as the same as “Force Majeure”. So, there is case law to support this.
But, with each contract, I would leave it to the lawyers (and judges in court) to make the ruling.
Often times, the bigger question is does something fall within this or not. Was a union strike unforeseen or not, were the heavy spring rains out of the ordinary or not, etc.
