  • Goyle's Law of Specific Performance [HB] by S. K. Pathak | Eastern Law House

Specific performance, with its genesis in Equity and progression with contemporary desideratum, has come to pervade the domain of Civil Law, in particular, where the contractual obligations are flouted by way of breach of contractual stipulations. It prescribes the remedies to make good the loss suffered for the transgression of the terms of contract. ‘Ease of doing business’ is the catchphrase in the business world today where contractual relationships play a crucial role. But, the relief of ‘specific performance’ in vogue prior to the amendments in the Act, being a discretionary relief, was not sufficient enough to infuse confidence in the business community to do business in India.
 
Practical and user-friendly approach

The instant edition of this book is a thoroughly revised and up-to-date one incorporating recent legislative changes and judicial pronouncements of Supreme Court and High Courts, in addition to the cases from American and English laws to make the book practically useful for users.  Relevant and contemporary topics, such as Equity, Estoppel, Damages, Compensation, Restitution, Fraud, Pre-emption, Injunction, to mention a few.
 
New topics incorporated
