Specific performance is an extraordinary equitable remedy that compels a party to execute a contract accordingly to the precise terms agreed upon or to execute it substantially so that, under the circumstances, justice, will be done between the parties.

This Specific Performance is an equitable rather than legal remedy. By compelling the parties to perform exactly what they had agreed to perform.
Specific Performance can be granted only by the court in the exercise of its equity powers, subsequent to a determination of whether a valid contract can be enforced exist and an evaluation of the relief sought. As a general rule, specific performance is applied in breach of contract actions where monetary damages are inadequate, primarily where the contract involves land and unique chattel. Damages for the breach of a contract for the sale of ordinary personal property are, in most cases, readily ascertainable and recoverable so that specific performance will not be granted. The advantage of this remedy is that, since it is an order of an equity court it is also been supported by the enforcement power of that court. If the defendant refuses to obey that order, she can be cited for criminal contempt and even imprisoned. The defendant can also be cited for civil contempt for continuing to refuse to obey the order and can be incarcerated. When specific performance is impossible or the pleading or proof does not justify that remedy, and the court may give damages in lieu of specific performance …show more content…

  • What Is The Case Curtis Vs Detroit Dillers

    1199 Words  | 5 Pages

    In the case of Curtis vs. Detroit Drillers, a breach of contract is what is at hand. The outstanding leadoff hitter for the Detroit Drillers, Curtis, signed a bonus in his contract, which stated, if he made 700 plate appearances he would receive a bonus of $150,000. The problem with this is that Curtis was benched just short of his 700th appearance for seemingly no reason, so Curtis is suing the Drillers for a breach of contract. In this case the plaintiff is Curtis, and the defendant would be the Detroit Drillers. In the case, Curtis had 696 plate appearances with two games left when the manager decided that Curtis would be put in a pinch-hitting role to allow younger players to show what they have for next season, especially because the
