Contracts

Wisconsin's contract law doctrine of 'impossibility of performance' may excuse a party from their contractual duties when:

AThe party simply changes their mind
BAn unforeseen event makes performance objectively impossible (e.g., the property burns down before closing)✓ Correct
CThe market changes after the contract is signed
DThe party finds a better opportunity

Explanation

Impossibility of performance may discharge contractual duties when an unforeseen event (like destruction of the subject matter) makes performance objectively impossible, not merely more difficult.
