Specific performance is an equitable remedy used when a contract involves unique property or other circumstances where money cannot fully compensate the harmed party.
To pursue this remedy, a valid contract, a breach, and the absence of an adequate legal remedy must be shown. The process typically includes pleadings, evidentiary submissions, and potential court hearings to determine eligibility and timing.
Common terms used in specific performance actions include enforceable contract, breach, damages, and equitable relief.
An enforceable contract is one that meets legal requirements and can be legally enforced in court.
A breach occurs when one party fails to perform as promised under the contract.

Specific performance involves asking the court to require a party to complete the promised real estate transaction.

The court will weigh factors such as fairness, feasibility, and public policy when deciding whether to grant relief.
