Contract Law - The Discharge of Contracts - Discharging a contract due to frustration

Unforeseen circumstances may arise which prevent a contract from being carried out. If this happens, the contract is said to be frustrated.

The contract would have failed through the fault of neither party, so neither can be sued for breach.
