The equitable remedy of specific performance continues to be a popular method whereby practitioners seek, on behalf of their clients, to enforce contractual arrangements reached with third parties.

The book examines in detail the area of insolvency in the context of specific performance, together with coverage of the Civil Jurisdiction and Judgments Acts 1982 and 1991 which have had a considerable impact on the subject and which were not in force when the first edition was published. It is fully updated to include all recent case law.
