The term cannot, however, be extended to cover delays caused by bad weather, football matches, or a funeral: the English case of "Matsoukis v. Priestman & Co" (1915) held that "these are the usual incidents interrupting work, and the defendants, in making their contract, no doubt took them into account... The words 'force majeure' are not words which we generally find in an English contract. They are taken from the Code Napoleon, and they were inserted by this Romanian gentleman or by his advisers, who were no doubt familiar with their use on the Continent." In "Hackney Borough Council v. Dore" (1922) it was held that "The expression means some physical or material restraint and does not include a reasonable fear or apprehension of such a restraint".
