The plaintiff rented out the defendant’s music venue for a concert series, but the venue burned down before the first concert. Both parties were excused from their obligations under the contract.
Are the parties to a contract excused from performance if performance becomes impossible through no fault of either party?
Yes – the possibility of performance is an implied condition to a contract, so impossibility will excuse both parties. Since the music hall was essential to the contract and neither party was responsible for its destruction, performance is excused.
