Specific Performance of Contract

Legal Services in Specific Performance of Contract

Specific Performance is an equitable legal remedy under civil law, where a court directs a party to perform their contractual obligations as agreed, rather than simply awarding monetary damages for breach. This remedy is particularly relevant when compensation is inadequate, and the contract involves unique subject matter such as immovable property, rare goods, or personal commitments that cannot be substituted with money.

At our legal consultancy, we provide expert services in matters relating to Specific Performance of Contracts, ensuring our clients receive the relief and enforcement they are legally entitled to under the law.

What Is Specific Performance of Contract?

The concept of Specific Performance is governed by the Contract Act and Specific Relief Act in many jurisdictions, including Pakistan, India, and other common law countries. It applies when:

• A legally valid contract exists;

• One party has breached or refused to perform their part;

• Damages are not an adequate remedy;

• The plaintiff is ready and willing to perform their obligations.

In such cases, the aggrieved party may approach the civil court seeking a decree that compels the defaulting party to fulfill their obligations exactly as agreed in the contract.

Common Scenarios Where Specific Performance is Sought:

1. Sale or Purchase of Immovable Property

   • Specific performance is often granted in contracts for the sale of land, buildings, or real estate, where monetary compensation may not substitute the property’s unique value.

2. Breach of Business Agreements

   • Enforcement of commercial contracts, shareholder agreements, joint ventures, and service contracts where the subject matter is unique.

3. Construction Contracts

   • Where a party fails to construct or deliver infrastructure as per agreed terms, and the performance holds strategic or personal value.

4. Family and Inheritance Agreements

   • Execution of partition deeds, family settlements, or oral agreements regarding inheritance or distribution of assets.
