A specific performance action is a court order requiring a party to fulfill a contract, rather than awarding monetary damages.
We assess contract validity, available remedies, and potential defenses before filing or responding.
In real estate, a specific performance remedy compels the seller to transfer title or the buyer to complete payment, when monetary damages would be inadequate.
Elements include a binding contract, a breach of that contract, absence of valid excuses, and a court order or injunction directing performance; the process typically involves case filing, discovery, negotiations, and, if needed, a trial.
This section explains terms used when discussing specific performance actions in real estate.
A court order requiring a party to fulfill the promised real estate contract instead of or in addition to paying damages.
