Performance of contractual obligations. The concrete performance of a contract may be required in the context of a dispute.

In some scenarios, partial performance may be acceptable – especially if the contract was divisible – even if compensation would be changed under the contract to reflect the level of performance. In other cases, however, partial performance does not entitle the offending party to damages. In addition, a breaching party may be required by a court to perform its obligations under a contract if there is no other way to make the situation fair; This is called a specific benefit.
