Appellate Practice Attorney serving New York, NY
You can argue frustration of purpose, as many have due to covid. In New York, at least, these arguments have rarely prevailed, but your facts are better than most. You should review the contract, however, to see if it contains a "hell or high water"and/ or "force majeure" clause which would contractually pace the risk of some unforeseen event, such as the pandemic, on you.
