The ship could have been sent in due course, but by the time it was ready and available the original purpose of the intended charter-party could not be fulfilled. Therefore, there was "practical" impossibility, or "frustration", even though there was no physical impossibility... The commercial purpose of the original contract has been frustrated; to go on when the delaying act or event has concluded its effects would be to bind the parties by a new contract, in new and different circumstances.  3, record 2, English, - practical%20impossibility

The current trend in the United States is to abandon the very word "impossible" and "impossibility" and to use instead the terms "impracticable" and "impracticability". This change seems, morever, to be intended to widen the scope of the doctrine of discharge by supervening events.  4, record 2, English, - practical%20impossibility

Where an event or circumstances, completely unforeseen, makes it impossible for the contract to be completed, then the contract is frustrated. Funds paid are recoverable and funds due for payment do not have to be paid. Such events as sickness, war, third party interference, legislation will have the effect of frustrating a contract.

La loi, dans la définition qu'elle donne du cas fortuit, requiert que le débiteur n'ai pas «prévu» l'événement. Au contraire, la jurisprudence, reprenant en cela les données de la doctrine classique, demande au débiteur de démontrer non seulement qu'il n'a pas effectivement prévu l'événement mais encore que celui-ci n'était pas normalement «prévisible».  3, record 4, French, - %C3%A9v%C3%A9nement%20pr%C3%A9visible
