Hypothetical question

I'm dealing with a situation and need some guidance.

other party claiming force majeure. I've been dealing with this for about 2 months now and the situation isn't improving.

The contract was signed 13 months ago. I have a copy of the original agreement. The total amount in dispute is approximately $62,000 smh.

Do I have a strong case? What should my next steps be?

Illustrative response

NAL, but from what I've read, you should document everything. That's the general rule anyway, exceptions exist.
