Legal Definition and Related Resources of Commercial Impracticability

This phrase describes the situation in which performance as required by a contract can only be rendered at excessive or unreasonable cost.

For an instance in which nonperformance was not excused see Powers v Siats, 244 Minn. 515, 70 N. W. 2d 344.
