Specific Performance Claims in California

Focused specific performance claims representation by Sari Law Firm. Part of our Breach of Contract practice. Free consultation, transparent pricing, and clear communication at every step.

What is Specific Performance Claims?

Specific performance is an equitable remedy that orders a party to perform the contract, rather than just pay damages for failing to perform. California courts grant specific performance when monetary damages are inadequate, the contract terms are definite, and the consideration is adequate. It is most common in real-estate purchase disputes and unique-asset transactions.

When you might need this service

  • A seller is refusing to close on a signed real-estate purchase contract.
  • A buyer of unique assets (art, intellectual property, custom-built items) wants the goods, not just damages.
  • A contract for the transfer of a closely held business interest is being repudiated and damages will not make the buyer whole.
  • A long-term supply agreement for an irreplaceable input is being breached.

How Sari Law Firm helps

We pursue specific performance through verified complaints, lis pendens (in real estate matters), and motions for preliminary injunctive relief where appropriate. We also defend against specific performance claims on grounds of indefinite terms, inadequate consideration, hardship, or unclean hands. California Civil Code §3384 and §3387 frame the analysis from the outset.
