One of the key legal questions that COVID-19 has raised relates to the status of the traditional contractual doctrine of frustration. The pandemic and the ongoing lockdowns across the globe have made it difficult for many contracts to perform. At the same time, there is a deep doctrinal and conceptual confusion with respect to the very essentials of this doctrine and its remedy - i.e., what happens after an adjudicative tribunal declares that a given contract has been frustrated. The paper offers a unified conceptual account of the frustration doctrine and claims that both the doctrine and its remedy crystallize a single unifying idea.
新冠疫情引发的关键法律问题之一涉及传统合同落空原则的地位。这场大流行以及全球范围内持续的封锁措施使得许多合同难以履行。与此同时，对于该原则及其补救措施的核心要点，即裁判法庭宣布某一特定合同落空后会发生什么，存在严重的理论和概念混淆。本文对合同落空原则给出了统一的概念性阐释，并主张该原则及其补救措施都体现了一个单一的统一理念。
