Contracts
In Colorado, a 'specific performance' remedy in a real estate contract dispute means:
AA. The court awards the non-breaching party only monetary damages
BB. A court orders the breaching party to actually perform their contractual obligation (e.g., complete the sale) rather than paying damages✓ Correct
CC. The contract is voided and both parties are restored to their original positions
DD. The broker's commission is forfeited
Explanation
Specific performance is an equitable remedy available in real estate contracts because real property is considered unique. When a seller refuses to sell (breaches), the buyer may sue for specific performance — asking the court to order the seller to convey the property as contracted, rather than just awarding money damages.
