A specific performance action is a court order requiring a party to fulfill contractual obligations, such as transferring real property. This remedy is used when damages would not adequately address the breach.
Specific performance is often chosen when the subject property is unique or has features that cannot be replaced by money alone. Damages may be insufficient to protect your interests.
The timeline varies by case, but it typically depends on the court’s schedule, complexity of issues, and whether settlements are reached earlier.
Costs include court fees, attorney fees (in California, each party generally bears its own), and potential expert or title search expenses.
Temporary injunctions may be sought in appropriate circumstances to preserve rights while litigation proceeds.
If the other party refuses to perform, a court order can enforce the contract and compel action or provide remedies.
While an attorney is not required, having counsel familiar with California real estate and contract law can help protect your interests.
Enforceability depends on contract terms, property identity, and remedies requested; the court considers these factors in evaluating options.
Bring the contract, amendments, correspondence, title reports, and any notes about the property’s unique features.
