This is the first exhaustive treatment in Ireland of the main remedy for the enforcement of a contract for the sale of land. It provides all practitioners concerned with conveyancing and property transactions with an essential reference work.
The book deals with all aspects of the remedy of specific performance, including; the effect of the 'subject to contract' formula; the doctrine of Part Performance; and the effect of the Family Home Protection Act 1976. It also provides a detailed examination of procedural and tactical matters, such as the presentation of the plaintiff's case, and defences available, along with other remedies and reliefs available to the parties.
