lloll4From Tesa Tape Asia Pacific Pte Ltd v Wing Seng Logistics Pte Ltd [2006] 3 SLR 116, at [3]:
'...The defendent denied each of the claims, and in addition, pleaded the defence of "act of God". Some theists might not attribute such destructive phenomena to him (or her), and atheists might regard this as an inappropriately named defence. In dealing with this part of counsel's submissions I shall, therefore, be using the more neutral sounding term "force majeure" to denote the defence based on an uncontrollable event, instead of "act of God".'
Adorable or not?
