Description The main attention is paid to an analysis of the legal definition of vis major and to the definition of how it differs from the generally understood concept of vis major when facts which are purely personal to the holder or to the person whom he has entrusted with the presentment of the bill of exchange or the drawing up of the protest are not deemed to constitute the case of vis major. Using a detailed historical interpretation the author supports a restrictive interpretation of the given rule.
