What Is a Contingency? A contingency is a potential occurrence of a negative event in the future, such as an economic recession, natural disaster, fraudulent activity, terrorist attack, or a pandemic.
Contingency refers to a plan of action taken as a response to such a situation. An example of a correctly used sentence is: “The success of the project depends on the contingent contingencies established.” It means that the project's outcome relies on the conditions put in place beforehand.
Contingency clauses help parties find common ground when they have divergent future expectations. However, they come with complexities and potential drawbacks, such as increased administrative overhead and the need for careful negotiation and drafting.
A "contingent contract is a contract to do or not to do something, if some event, collateral to such contract, does or does not happen.
Contingent contracts usually occur when negotiating parties fail to reach an agreement. The contract is characterized as "contingent" because the terms are not final and are based on certain events or conditions occurring. A contingent contract can also be viewed as protection against a future change of plans.
