Court order to fulfil the contract

The court will sometimes order a party to carry out the actual requirements of the contract (called specific performance), rather than pay damages, if damages would not compensate the other party fairly. A court may order a person to comply with a contract where damages are inappropriate or inadequate because of the subject matter of the contract, for example, where the contract was for the sale of a particular house, block of land or work of art.
