Specific Performance

A

Specific performance is an equitable remedy that forces performance of the act specified in the contract when no adequate remedy at law exists, i.e., when monetary damages will not make the injured party whole. It is very rare and will be used only when the goods specified in the contract are unique (e.g., real property, original art, controlling interest in a business) or when circumstances inhibit the ability to cover (to procure substitute goods in the open market).
