Specific performance is a court order requiring a party to fulfill the terms of a contract, usually in real estate when the subject is unique. It is a remedy used when monetary damages would not adequately compensate the loss.
Specific performance is available under conditions such as a valid contract, a breach, and feasibility of enforcement. Courts consider whether damages would be inadequate and whether the terms can be performed as written.
Case duration varies with complexity and court calendars. Some matters resolve quickly through negotiation, while others require formal procedures over months.
If specific performance is denied, damages or other equitable relief may be available depending on the contract and circumstances. The exact remedy depends on court rulings and applicable law.
