In November 2020, the Ministry of Law announced the introduction of the Re-Align Framework (“Framework”) under the new Part 10 of the COVID-19 (Temporary Measures) Act 2020 (“Act”) to assist businesses impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic.
The Framework enables businesses to renegotiate certain contracts to realign themselves with the current economic climate, and will come into effect for six weeks commencing from 15 January 2021 until and including 26 February 2021.
The Framework is applicable to, inter alia, leases or licences for non-residential immovable property for a term not exceeding five years which are specified contracts under the Second Schedule of the Act.
