Question

Which of these contracts can be specifically enforced?

• A. When there is lack of standard for ascertaining the actual damages
• B. When compensation in money is not an adequate relief
• C. Both
• D. None of these

Answer 1

The correct option is C Both

Under section 10 of the Specific Relief Act, 1963, the specific performance of any contract maybe enforced-

• when there exists no standard for ascertaining actual damage caused by the non-performance of the act agreed to be done; or
  
• when the act agreed to be done is such that compensation in money for its non-performance would not afford adequate relief.
