Abstract
Tornando -se o cumprimento de um contrato mais oneroso para uma das partes, tal
parte continua, ainda assim, obrigada a cumprir o contrato, ressalvadas as disposições
seguintes a respeito de hardship. Há hardship quando sobrevêm fatos que alteram
fundamentalmente o equilíbrio do contrato, seja porque o custo do adimplemento da
obrigação de uma parte tenha aumentado, seja porque o valor da contra -prestação haja
diminuído, e (a) os fatos ocorrem ou se tornam conhecidos da parte em desvantagem
após a formação do contrato; (b) os fatos não poderiam ter sido razoavelmente levados
em conta pela parte em desvantagem no momento da formação do contrato; (c) os
fatos estão fora da esfera de controle da parte em desvantagem; e (d) o risco pela
superveniência dos fatos não foi assumido pela parte em desvantagem. Na ocorrência
de hardship, a parte em desvantagem tem direito de pleitear renegociações. O pleito
deverá ser feito sem atrasos indevidos e deverá indicar os fundamentos nos quais se
baseia. O pleito para renegociação não dá, por si só, direito à parte em desvantagem
de suspender a execução.
Where the performance of a contract becomes more onerous for one of the parties, that party is nevertheless bound to perform its obligations subject to the following provisions on hardship. there is hardship where the occurrence of events fundamentally alters the equilibrium of the contract either because the cost of a party’s performance has increased or because the value of the performance a party receives has diminished, and (a) the events occur or become known to the disadvantaged party after the conclusion of the contract; (b) the events could not reasonably have been taken into account by the disadvantaged party at the time of the conclusion of the contract; (c) the events are beyond the control of the disadvantaged party; and (d) the risk of the events was not assumed by the disadvantaged party. in case of hardship the disadvantaged party is entitled to request renegotiations. the request shall be made without undue delay and shall indicate the grounds on which it is based. the request for renegotiation does not in itself entitle the disadvantaged party to withhold performance. upon failure to reach agreement within a reasonable time either party may resort to the court
