How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• finding that defendant did not present evidence to show it could not have foreseen difficulties at time of contract negotiations
• declining to address any contention the defendant had “good intentions or laudable motive”
• listing impossibility of performance, which “refers to those factual situations, too numerous to catalog, where the purposes, for which the contract was made, have, on one side, become impossible to perform,” as a basis for rescission
• “These two theories of ‘impossibility of performance’ or ‘frustration of purpose,’ while theoretically distinct, are often confused by the courts and textbook writers in applying them.”
