Article 412-2Impossibility of Performance

第四百十二条の二(履行不能)

If the performance of an obligation is impossible in light of the contract or other sources of claims and common sense trading practices in the transaction, the obligee may not request the performance of the obligation.

債務の履行が契約その他の債務の発生原因及び取引上の社会通念に照らして不能であるときは、債権者は、その債務の履行を請求することができない。

The impossibility of the performance of an obligation based on a contract on the time of the formation of the contract does not preclude claiming compensation for damage that arises from the impossibility of the obligation pursuant to the provisions of Article 415.

契約に基づく債務の履行がその契約の成立の時に不能であったことは、第四百十五条の規定によりその履行の不能によって生じた損害の賠償を請求することを妨げない。
