ContractsQuestion 61 of 100
Specific performance is a legal remedy in which a court orders:
a.Payment of monetary damages only
b.The broker to refund the commission
c.The immediate cancellation of the contract
d.A defaulting party to carry out the contract as agreed
Explanation
Specific performance compels a defaulting party to actually perform the contract, such as conveying the unique property as promised. It is available because each parcel of real estate is considered unique, so money alone may not suffice. A buyer often seeks it when a seller refuses to close.
