Ong on Specific Performance - Tapa dura

'This latest publication by Professor Denis Ong of Bond University undertakes an analysis of the variety of issues which arise in actions for specific performance. Given Professor Ong's learned writings in the area of trusts, equitable remedies, estoppels and Romalpa clauses a consideration of the correlative issues involved in specific performance is a natural progression. Although the work is brief, containing only 192 pages, it covers in detail the variety of issues that arise when specific performance is sought including those associated with establishing the inadequacy of common law damages, the readiness and ability of the plaintiff to perform the essential obligations of the contract and the requirement of mutuality of performance between the parties. The work also considers the relationship with the relief of Part Performance and deals in detail with that doctrine.'
