Yes, that's correct. Specific performance is a legal remedy in contract law that a court may order when one party fails to fulfill their contractual obligations. This remedy compels the party in breach to perform their contractual duties as agreed, rather than simply awarding monetary damages.
Specific performance is typically granted in cases where the subject matter of the contract is unique or when monetary damages are insufficient to remedy the breach. Common scenarios where specific performance might be ordered include real estate transactions, where each piece of property is considered unique, or in contracts involving rare goods or services.
However, specific performance is not available for every type of contract. Courts may consider factors such as the feasibility of enforcing the contract, whether an adequate legal remedy exists, and whether the terms of the contract are fair and certain before granting this remedy.
