According to the contract, Terry was to supply 18 th century artifacts to Martha for the play she was directing, and Martha was ready to pay $50,000 for this.

Answer 1

Specifically perform the contract

Step-by-step explanation:

When a contract is made and one of the parties does not perform his own part. During a dispute the court will first ask the erring party to perform their duties in the contract.

In this scenario Terry was to supply 18 th century artifacts to Martha for the play she was directing, and Martha was ready to pay $50,000 for this. Another director needed the same artifacts and was ready to pay $60,000. Terry decided not to sell the artifacts to Martha.

Terry has breached his contract with Martha, and will now be compelled to sell the painting to Martha at $50,000.
