Contracts
In Nebraska, if a seller refuses to close despite a valid purchase agreement, the buyer's legal remedy of 'specific performance' would:
AForce the seller to pay double the purchase price
BRequire the court to compel the seller to complete the sale✓ Correct
CAllow the buyer to take possession without the seller's consent
DAutomatically award the buyer the earnest money plus interest
Explanation
Specific performance is an equitable remedy that asks a court to order the breaching party to complete the contract. It is available in real estate because each property is unique, making monetary damages potentially insufficient.
