ABC has a contract with its supplier DEF who delivers pasta to ABC's manufacturing plant. DEF has committed a breach and conflict resolution has taken place. The Court has awarded ABC 'specific performance' damages. What could this involve?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: C

DEF must deliver the pasta required by ABC is the correct answer. Specific performance is when the innocent party is rewarded by receiving what was initially negotiated - in this case the delivery of pasta. It's basically a posh way of saying that the court mandates you to do what the contract says. See p. 129 for information on Specific Performance.

I think those options might not be applicable in this case because 'specific performance' usually involves fulfilling the terms of the contract.

C) DEF must deliver the pasta required by ABC. Specific performance is like the court saying, 'No more excuses, get that pasta delivered!'

C) DEF must deliver the pasta required by ABC. Easy peasy, the court wants DEF to uphold their end of the bargain. What, did they think they could just pay their way out of this one?

C) DEF must deliver the pasta required by ABC. Yeah, that's the one. Specific performance means they have to actually deliver the goods, not just pay up.

B) DEF must pay an amount of money as determined by the courts. I'm not sure why they would order specific performance if the issue could be resolved with a monetary payment.
