Inevitable Accident
Legal definition for Indian law research
Definition
Inevitable accident, that which cannot be avoided: used in leases together with fire or tempest as a cause of destruction of the demised premises excusing the payment of rent or an omission by the lessee to repair. The expression is also very commonly used in covenants for production of documents, exempting the covenator from liability in the event of destruction by fire or other inevitable accident; but as pointed out by Mr. Davidson, Prec. Of Convg., vol. ii., pt. 1. P. 665, it is not accurate, for such accidents are not ineitable, and 'insuperable' is the better term. The word 'inevitable,' however, is used in the L.P. Act, 1925, s. 64(9), relating to the effect of an undertaking for safe custody and acknowledgment of the right to production of documents.
As to ordering particulars of a defence of 'inevitable accident,' see Rumbold v. L.C.C., (1909) 25 TLR 541.
