Talk:Specific performance

Paras 3 and 6 are specific to the United States and should be made universal or so qualified. The remainder is OK from an English perspective. Chris R 20:41, 20 January 2006 (UTC)

There is no mention of the use of specific performance in English Land Law, which is one of the main ways to create equitable interests in land. The ruling of Walsh v Lonsdale (1882) is of paramount importance. Juice07 (talk) 15:18, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

"in specie" is used but Wikipedia doesn't define it with its legal meaning. in specie doesn't list the intended meaning as far as I can see. And when it does, this page should link directly there. -- Ralph Corderoy (talk) 11:46, 21 March 2009 (UTC)

The paragraph on civil law should be extended and clarified. Better than "specific performance is considered to be the basic right" would be: "specific perfomance is considered to be the primary remedy", a term frequently used for "money damages are a kind of 'substitute specific performance" is "pecuniary damages are used as damages in lieu of performance" (though I understand if the former wording was used because it is less technical). Examples of specific performance as the primary remedy in civil law are §241(1) BGB and art. 1184 Code Civil. Source: Furmtson, P.M.
