General[]
Specific performance is an alternative remedy to the award of money damages for a breach of contract. It is designed to produce the same effect that performance of the contract would have produced. It consists of a court ordering the breaching party to perform as promised. Specific performance will be ordered only if there is no adequate monetary remedy.
