Impracticability Clause in Sales of Goods Act: A relic of 19th century
contract bar_exam beginner reform_ideaYeh Clause 64 ka hai, jiska matlab hai ki contract badla jaa sakta hai jab kuch bhi ho sakta hai, jaise ki vishleshan ke liye samay lagta hai, vendor kharaab ho jaata hai, ya mere khayalon ka pehli baat, vendor apne khuda ki khoj kar raha hai. Lekin iska kya matlab hai? Yeh sab kuchh toh 19vi shatabdi ka hai. Aajkal toh koi vendor kharaab nahi ho sakta, woh sab pehle hi pata hai. Samay ka vishleshan toh sab computer kar deta hai. Is Clause ko todna chahiye, woh koi aadhar nahi hai.

Bhai, I'd argue that Impracticability Clause is still relevant in today's fast-changing market. UCC 2-615 specifically allows courts to discharge contracts due to supervening events like natural disasters. Its practical application is seen in cases like Katrina v. M/V Hillion [2004]. It prevents parties from getting locked into unworkable contracts, so ya, still holds value.
