Practice question
A valid service undertaking later becomes legally impossible because of the obligor’s own established misconduct. The obligor invokes Article 1266 solely by naming the new legal prohibition. Which is correct?
- Every prohibition automatically erases fault
- The debtor may create an excuse by misconduct
- Only the contract’s paper size matters
- The absence-of-fault condition must still be met; self-caused impossibility is not automatically a release
- No legal impossibility can ever matter
