Since there is no reading assignment this week $($because there is nothing in the CMBOK or the FAR regarding it$),$ let's discuss impossibility of performance from the perspective of this UpCounsel $(2020)$ article Links to an external site.. UpCounsel is a good source of legal information as it relates to procurement and contracting, since it uses everyday language to describe what can be complext contractng issues.

Given that COVID$-19$ rendered many contracts partially impossible or impracticable to perform, the number of cases claiming impossibility of performance $($also known as frustration of purpose$)$ have increased in recent years. It seems likely that they will continue to increase given natural disasters due to climate change and other causes $($such as pandemics$).$

Provide your understanding of what impossibility of performance is based on the UpCounsel $(2020)$ article and use one additional outside source to support it$.$

Provide a real$-$world example of when impossibility of performance of a contract would occur.
