Abrogation

The cancellation of the part of a contract that has not yet been performed. For example, if parties agree to several deliveries of goods, but after the first delivery, war is declared in the buyer´s country and no further goods can be delivered, the buyer must pay the first delivery, but the contract is abrogated for the remaining ones. See force majeure clause; war risk.
