What is the legal term for an order that cannot possibly be obeyed?

For example, a judge orders someone to stand on their head for a week. What is the legal term for such an impossible order that can't be carried out?

Impossibility !

This could be due to some Act of God or due to some circumstantial reasons.

but if any judge give these kind of order the it would be impossible for him to continue as a judge.
