Civil Causes of Action Specific Performance Law & Legal Definition
Specific performance relates to a contract which is claimed to have been breached. An action for specific performance requests the court to order a party to comply with their contractual obligation. The contract may relate to personal or real property. A court will grant such relief only when monetary damages are inadequate to remedy the situation.
