Synthèse Legislator

Généré par l'IA

A contractual obligation to deliver a specific item, which was destroyed through no fault of the debtor before delivery, extinguishes the debt due to impossibility of performance, and this principle applies even if the creditor had previously given formal notice to perform; therefore, the lower court correctly dismissed the creditor's claim for damages based on the non-delivery of the object.
