 A claim for specific performance may be for the payment of a sum of money ("ad pecuniam solvendum"), a claim for the performance of some positive act other than payment of money ("ad factum praestandum") or a claim to enforce a negative obligation.The remedy of specific performance is not absolute and does not guarantee success.Even where it is shown that there has been a breach, the remedy is not granted unless the innocent party is ready to perform and performance is subjectively and objectively possible for the defendant.
