Give two examples of impossibility of performance.

perform the duties identified in the contract. Another example is if there are different weather
conditions.
3. What would be the result of an injured party failing to mitigate damages? Why?
Failure to mitigate damages may have an impact on your ability to recover compensation for
your injuries. You might get a lower settlement or a lower award at trial if there is a real question
as to whether you neglected to try to lessen your losses.
4. Give an example of frustration of purpose other than the Coronation Cases.
An example of a frustration of purpose would be an emergency that stops someone from carrying
out their obligations under a contract. Contract law's concept of frustration of purpose describes
what happens when unanticipated events defeat a contract's primary goal.
