V nadväznosti na predchádzajúce myšlienky možno uvažovať aj o tom, že systém súdnych precedensov môže udržiavať v platnosti aj rozhodnutia, ktoré sa v konfrontácii s vývojom spoločenským, kultúrnym, vedeckým, či technologickým, nemusia javiť ako optimálne. Keďže sudcovia sú viazaní povinnosťou postupovať podľa výrokov vyšších súdov, môže vzniknúť rozpor medzi tým, ako sudca musí rozhodnúť, a tým, ako by rozhodnúť chcel. Ak teda vyšší súd v minulosti rozhodol nepresne, neprimerane alebo rozhodoval v odlišných spoločenských alebo historických súvislostiach, a takýto verdikt aj naďalej determinuje rozhodovanie v podobných kauzách, môže vzniknúť stav, kedy sa právny systém stáva menej pružným a ťažšie reaguje na nové okolnosti alebo progres dosiahnutý v rôznych oblastiach ľudskej spoločnosti. Inak povedané, formálna váha precedensu môže prevládnuť nad materiálnou správnosťou rozhodnutia, čím sa síce zabezpečí stabilita práva a jeho predvídateľnosť, ale môže sa tak stať na úkor jeho spravodlivosti.

Parties: Fiona (owner of The Searious Chef) and Baron (CEO of Bristle & Burn). The dispute concerns whether Baron can rely on frustration (or the contract’s express excuse clause) to avoid supplying 5,000 customised spatulas made from specified Southeastern USA wood to be delivered to United Kingdom by 1 July 2025. If frustration (or the clause) applies, Fiona’s claim for loss arising from cancellation of her festival and marketing spend may be defeated or reduced; if not, Baron is in breach and Fiona can seek damages and restitution. This essay analyses the law of frustration, contractual allocation of risk, limitations (foreseeability/knowledge), the statutory consequences under the Law Reform (Frustrated Contracts) Act 1943, and remedies, then applies those rules to the facts and evidence provided. Key authorities considered include Taylor v Caldwell, Krell v Henry, Fibrosa, Davis Contractors, and Walton Harvey (and the 1943 Act).
