292: Listen and Learn -- Excuses for Non-Performance of a Contract
Manage episode 454617591 series 3051495
Welcome back to the Bar Exam Toolbox podcast! In this episode from our "Listen and Learn" series, we're exploring the situations in which a party to a contract is claiming that their contractual obligations should be discharged as a result of supervening events that occurred after the formation of the contract. The three excuses for non-performance of a contract we'll look at are: impossibility, impracticability, and frustration of purpose.
In this episode, we discuss:
- The rules for the impossibility, impracticability, and frustration of purpose excuses for non-performance of a contract
- Two essay questions from previous California bar exams
