There are two, perhaps three aspects to consider:
1. Read your CONTRACT. Is there a clause which covers FORCE MAJEURE?
Your legal eagle needs to scrutinise the contract.
2. Insurance is, in essence, providing a measure of protection over future events outwith your control and not yet occurred, but possibly foreseeable.
If you had approached an Insurance Company 12 months ago and asked to take out insurance against a global pandemic event which covers the cost of your present situation, your training costs etc, then I suspect that you would have been able to obtain insurance.
A very long shot ~ check House insurance policy.
3. For those unfortunate customers who are at present in phases 2/3, a very generous ATO might, out of the goodness of their heart (not to mention excellent
PR...cynical moi?) allow the trainee to complete the additional flying necessary for CPL/IR issue for the previous agreed MPL course price, i.e. switch across with no extra charges.
Individual circumstances would clearly dictate the generosity. Ideally just started phase 2.
MCC certification an additional matter requiring Regulatory discussion depending how far into phase 2/3.
