Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Specific performance is the appropriate remedy for a breach of a contract for the sale of real property. It means that the court orders the seller to convey the property as specified in the sales contract. Liquidated damages, ratification damages, and punitive damages are not applicable remedies for a breach of contract for the sale of real property. Option E is not true, as contract law does apply to real property agreements.
