Commercial Impracticability

Commercial Impracticability is a legal doctrine within contract law that, as a distinct ground for non-performance, arises when an unforeseen event or circumstance renders the fulfillment of a contractual obligation excessively burdensome or objectively unreasonable despite the technical possibility of performance, thereby distinguishing it from impossibility or mere economic hardship.
