The Chicago Cubs major league baseball team is in the playoffs and doing well.Behind the left field wall there is an apartment building and the owner advertises,"Space available on the apartment building roof with a clear view of the field available for the World Series.Bring a lawn chair,your radio and a cooler and enjoy the game.Just $50.00 per game." Bart,a lifelong fan,answers the ad and pays the building owner $100.00 to reserve space for the first two games.Unfortunately the Cubs start playing poorly and don't make it to the World Series.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Frustration of purpose occurs when an event that was essential to the contract's purpose cannot occur due to circumstances outside of the parties' control. In this case, the purpose of the contract was to watch the World Series games from the apartment building roof, but the Cubs not making it to the World Series frustrated that purpose. Therefore, Bart is entitled to a refund.
