Question

what doctrine arose from cases in england in which parties, who had contracted for rooms along a parade route for the kings coronation, received their money back when the coronation was canceled because the king became ill? multiple choice frustration of purpose commercial impracticability substantial performance anticipatory repudiation impossibility of performance

Explanation:

The doctrine of frustration of purpose applies when a supervening event destroys the purpose of a contract, making performance meaningless. In the king's coronation case, the cancellation (due to the king's illness) frustrated the purpose of contracting for parade - route rooms. Commercial impracticability focuses on cost - related difficulties, substantial performance is about nearly completing obligations, anticipatory repudiation is about a party indicating they won't perform, and impossibility of performance is about physical inability to perform (not just purpose destruction).

Answer:

A. Frustration of purpose
