ABSTRACT
The Specific Relief (Amendment), Act 2018 has become a mandatory rule of practice to provide specific performance as a remedy to the aggrieved person. The Act seeks to address the issue of delay in relation to the enforceability of contracts. It has eliminated the inadequacy test by substituting Sections 10, 14 and 20 in entirety. The Amended Act provides that the aggrieved person can now choose for a substituted performance or the compensation instead of the specific relief. Thus, the Amendment Act gives considerable weight age to the convenience of choice to the aggrieved person.
Key Words: The Specific Relief (Amendment) Act, 2018, Specific Performance ,Substituted Performance, Infrastructure Projects
