After a buyer and seller sign a real estate purchase-sale contract
it is often the case that one of the parties wants to back out of
the contract. The other party most likely will sue for the remedy
of speciVc performance. Which of the following is incorrect
regarding speciVc performance?
There is a slight trend in the law moving away from the speciVc
performance rationale that money damages are an inadequate
remedy for the seller.
If a judgment for speciVc performance would create a hardship
for the party who breached the purchase-sale contract, the
court can deny a claim for speciVc performance.
Since speciVc performance is an equitable remedy, the court’s
judgment can grant speciVc performance but cannot grant an
abatement of the purchase price.
The existing general rule requires the buyer to establish that
money damages are an inadequate remedy.
