Art. 119 OR

Soweit durch Umstände, die der Schuldner nicht zu verantworten hat, seine Leistung unmöglich geworden ist, gilt die Forderung als erloschen.

Bei zweiseitigen Verträgen haftet der hienach freigewordene Schuldner für die bereits empfangene Gegenleistung aus ungerechtfertigter Bereicherung und verliert die noch nicht erfüllte Gegenforderung.

Ausgenommen sind die Fälle, in denen die Gefahr nach Gesetzesvorschrift oder nach dem Inhalt des Vertrages vor der Erfüllung auf den Gläubiger übergeht.
