Wis JI-Civil 3062
Impossibility: Supervening
If performance of a contract is possible only if a certain state of facts continues to
exist, then a cessation or termination of the state of facts which makes performance
impossible will excuse failure to perform. But if performance becomes impossible by reason
of contingencies which should have been foreseen by a party, then such party is not excused
from the duty to perform.

Unofficial copy of government-published law, reproduced from official sources with full provenance. Not an official publication; verify against official sources before relying on it in a filing. Records in the 'guidance' corpus, and only that corpus, are sub-regulatory (interpretive guidelines, survey procedures) and are not binding law. Validity bounds follow each jurisdiction's declared temporalBasis.
