FLPUnmöglichkeitsergebnis

FLPUnmöglichkeit is a German term that translates to "impossibility of fulfillment" or "impossibility of performance" in English. It is a legal concept that arises in contract law, specifically when the subject matter of a contract becomes impossible to perform after the contract has been formed. This impossibility can be due to various reasons, such as the destruction of the object of the contract, a change in the law rendering the performance illegal, or unforeseen circumstances that make performance objectively impossible.

When FLPUnmöglichkeit occurs, the legal consequences depend on the specific jurisdiction and the nature of the impossibility. Generally, it can lead to the termination of the contract, releasing both parties from their obligations. In some cases, if one party was responsible for the impossibility or knew of it at the time of contracting, they may be liable for damages. The concept distinguishes between objective impossibility, where no one could perform the contract, and subjective impossibility, where only the specific party is unable to perform. FLPUnmöglichkeit typically refers to objective impossibility. It is a crucial doctrine for determining liability and the enforceability of contractual agreements when circumstances change significantly.
