In view of the rent dispute in catering and other service industries, which is unable to operate due to the epidemic situation and has great pressure on rent payment, Liu Guixiang, a full-time member of the Judicial Committee of the Supreme People's Court and a second-level judge, said that in solving this problem, two points should be grasped: the epidemic situation and its prevention and control measures are force majeure, and a series of national and local policies to benefit enterprises should be implemented. It has been completely determined that the rent cannot be paid, the contract can no longer be performed, and it is impossible to pay the rent again. In this case, both parties should be allowed to make a request to terminate the contract, and the court should support it.

In view of the contract disputes caused by the inability to attend training courses during the epidemic, Liu Guixiang said that different situations should be treated differently. Under normal circumstances, after the signing of the training contract, even if offline training is not possible, online training can be used instead to achieve the expected training effect and achieve the purpose of the contract. In this case, if one party claims to terminate the contract, the court will not support it. However, if some special training courses cannot achieve the expected training effect through online training, such as art training, then some of them must be trained face to face, and it is difficult to achieve the training purpose through online training. In this case, the people's court shall support the trainee's request to terminate the contract and demand the refund of the pre-paid training fee or deposit.
