impracticability
Contracts. 1. A fact or circumstance that excuses a party from performing an act, esp. a contractual duty, because (though possible) it would cause extreme and unreasonable difficulty. For performance to be truly impracticable, the duty must become much more difficult or much more expensive to perform, and this difficulty or expense must have been unanticipated. 2. The doctrine by which such a fact or circumstance excuses performance. Cf. FRUSTRATION; IMPOSSIBILITY.
