Example 1
Andrei agreed to build a two storied
(двухэтажный) pub for Boris for
10 mln. They made contract.
When Andrei was digging foundation
of the pub. He found underground
waters which would 40 times
increase cost of the construction, up
to 400 mln.
Andrei says that it is impossible to
implement the contract.

Example 2

was one month late.

lost profit.
