Frustration occurs whenever the law recognizes that without default of either party a contractual obligation has become incapable of being performed because the circumstances in which performance is called for would render it a thing radically different from that which was undertaken by the contract.”
Frustration of contract is a legal concept that allows a contract to terminate when unforeseen circumstances beyond the parties' control arise. When a contract is frustrated, parties are discharged from their future obligations under the agreement.
A frustration of contract means that the contract is no longer valid as a circumstance has arisen that has not been addressed in the contract.
Contract frustration arises due to unforeseen circumstances that make performance impossible or significantly different, resulting in automatic termination. On the contrary, a breach of contract occurs when one of the parties fails to fulfill its obligations under a signed agreement.
The doctrine of frustration states that frustration occurs when an unforeseen event renders performance of a contract impossible or radically different from that originally contemplated by the parties. No party is considered at fault. If a contract is found to be frustrated, it is automatically terminated.
When is a contract frustrated? A contract will be frustrated if a supervening event occurs which makes it impossible to perform the contractual obligations involved. Or, where that performance would be radically different because of the supervening event.
3 Importantly, to give rise to frustration, the triggering event must cause disruption to contractual performance that is permanent (or at least substantially so), as opposed to temporary or transient. 4 The remedy for frustration is to discharge both parties of their obligations to perform on a going-forward basis.
