Effects of Doctrine of Frustration
When the Doctrine of Frustration comes into play, and the performance is disrupted there can be the following effects:
1. Automatic Termination of Contract: Any occurrence or event that invokes the doctrine of frustration automatically terminates the contract. And once terminated, there is no need on the part of the parties to rescind the contract.
2. Discharge of Further Obligations: Once the contract is frustrated, both parties to the contract are released from any further obligations.
3. Accrued Obligations are Unaffected: All the legal rights or obligations that have already accrued before the contracts become frustrating, and all events that have occurred before remain unaffected.
