Understand the rules and remedies courts use to enforce contracts.

This authoritative treatise explores the principles and practice of specific performance, with careful attention to how courts handle contracts, defenses, and remedies in complex cases.

Drawing on a long tradition of equity and a history of influential decisions, the work explains how the jurisdiction operates, who can sue, and what defects—such as misrepresentation or defects in the subject matter—can block or support specific performance. It also covers how contracts with public companies are treated and how statutory changes have shaped modern practice.

Foundational ideas behind specific performance and when courts will intervene
Defences, damages, and the interaction with related contracts and parties
Discussion of patent, latent, and title-related issues that affect enforcement
Guidance on navigating complex arrangements, including corporate and public-interest contexts

Ideal for practicing lawyers and students seeking a clear, practical map of equity’s role in enforcing contracts.
