Specific Performance

Specific performance is a legal remedy in contract law that requires a party to fulfill their obligations under a contract, rather than simply paying damages for failing to do so. This remedy is typically sought when monetary compensation would be inadequate to remedy the harm caused by the breach of contract. Specific performance is often used in cases involving unique or irreplaceable items, such as real estate, rare goods, or artworks.
