Vietnam Coronavirus (COVID-19)

Why this handbook?

Recently, the Covid-19 pandemic has had a heavy impact on the economy of the world in general and of Vietnam in particular. These impacts are reflected in the difficulties and heavy losses of businesses, forcing business owners to reduce production, reduce jobs, force workers to stop working, to be laid off and to be fired, etc. in order to be able to solve temporary difficulties. However, whether these solutions are being applied properly according to the provisions of labor law, such as legal procedures, application conditions and impacts to avoid unnecessary disputes for employers is one of their major concerns.

In addition, the legal handbook on COVID-19 also provides legal issues and answers questions on force majeure events, especially the question of whether the Covid-19 pandemic is a force majeure events so that the breaching party in the contract is exempt from liability, as well as contract termination events during the Covid-19 period.

Thus, the legal handbook on COVID-19 is compiled based on the questions, issues, and unresolved disputes of domestic and foreign enterprises as well as FDI enterprises in Vietnam.
