CC 1874
Art. 1874. Fortuitous event that would have destroyed object in hands of obligee
An obligor who had been put in default when a fortuitous event made his performance impossible is not liable for his failure to perform if the fortuitous event would have likewise destroyed the object of the performance in the hands of the obligee had performance been timely rendered.
That obligor is, however, liable for the damage caused by his delay.
