Authors

James Beardsley

Abstract

The threat of a money judgment substantially exceeding provable damages has become the basis of enforcement of specific performance of contracts in France. The author of this article traces the developments in this area and the evolution of the astreinte, which has substantially changed what may be called the law of specific performance of France.
