Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A party's nonperformance is excused because of impossibility of performance. This may occur because of the death of an essential party, the destruction of essential materials, or the subject matter of the contract becoming illegal. As the sale and ownership of ferrets have been banned, Pet101 is excused from its contractual obligation of delivering the ferret due to impossibility of performance.
