Abstract

The article considers the extent to which the common law doctrine of frustration, which is grounded in the law of contract, is currently available as a means of terminating property rights in land which have as their foundation a contractual relationship (whether express or implied) between the parties. The writers’ analysis reveals that a number of such rights falling within the numerus clausus principle, notably, leases, contracts for the sale of land, options to purchase land, easements, profits a prendre, mortgages and covenants affecting freehold land may, in principle, be discharged by a frustrating event under English law.
