- 1 (ii) The music hall 3 marks 6 min

Solution
Hover or tap a marked figure, like 72,000, to see how it is made and where else it appears.
(ii) The music hall. A contract to do an act which, after it is made, becomes impossible by an event the promisor could not prevent becomes void when the act becomes impossible; destruction of the subject matter is a leading instance. The hall was accidentally burnt, without C's fault, before the first concert: the contract became void by supervening impossibility and both parties are discharged. T cannot recover damages for breach of contract.
