I don't know for sure, but this looks like a possibility.

literally, Undurchführbarkeit = impracticability. I guess, impossibility is better, because it\'s more general.
Of course, you can say : the reason why the notification was impracticable (or impossibile)

Thanks a lot.

Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)
agree  Robert Schlarb: or with Klaus above (less formal)
10 hrs

disagree  Maureen Holm, J.D., LL.M.: Off the mark here. Service was attempted. My guess is that this is part of a request for judicial assistance under treaty for effecting service abroad and they're reporting back that service could not be effected.

agree  Margaret Marks: Surely 'failure' comprises 'inability'. We don't actually know the reason here.
