Act of God, for example (5,7)

I believe the answer is:

force majeure

(Other definitions for force majeure that I've seen before include "Legal excuse" , "Act of God preventing someone from fulfilling a contract" , "Superior strength" , "irresistible compulsion" , "Uncontrollable course of events" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sunday Times.
