Steel Industries, Inc., ordered steel from Interlink Metals & Chemicals. The

steel was to be delivered from a Russian mill. There were political and other

issues in Russia, and the mill was shut down. Interlink did not deliver the steel

to Steel Industries, claiming that it was excused from performance because it

could not get the steel from the Russian mill. What would Interlink have to

establish to show that it was excused from performing under the doctrine of

commercial impracticability? [Steel Industries, Inc. v Interlink Metals &

Chemicals, Inc., 969 F Supp 1046 (ED Mich)]
