Question

Jenna has contracted with Ebenezer to buy his land for $50,000. Jenna has paid the amount in full. However, Ebenezer has not transferred the land to Jenna. Which of the following remedies is the court most likely to enforce in case Jenna files a suit?

A) Arbitration
B) Consequential damages
C) Rescission
D) Liquidated damages
E) Specific performance

Answer 1

E) Specific Performance

Step-by-step explanation:

In the situation that is being described, the court is most likely to enforce a Specific Performance. This is an equitable remedy in the law of contract, in which the court issues an order to the defendant in a la suite to perform a specific act, which most of the time entitles the complete performance of the contract that they have agreed to. Which in this case would force Ebenezer to transfer the land to Jenna.
