Abstract

Incidents may occur during the performance of the contract which prevent one
or both parties from performing his obligations, even though the parties do not
have any role in causing such incidents. Art 79 of the CISG deals with the
impossibility of the performance of the contract as a cause of exemption from
liability for damages arising from a breach of contract. In some cases, the
circumstances, which have been the basis of the contract balance at the time of
contract formation, change and subsequently the performance of the contract
becomes difficult. The CISG contains no specific provision dealing with
hardship (Ta'assor) and related exemptions. Therefore, a question arises as to
whether the CISG covers such cases. There are different doctrinal views and
jurisprudence which will be discussed in this article.
