Which remedy involves fulfilling the original terms of the contract?

The remedy that involves fulfilling the original terms of the contract is specific performance. This legal remedy is typically ordered by the court when monetary damages are insufficient to resolve a breach of contract. Specific performance requires the party in breach to perform their obligations as outlined in the contract, thus ensuring that the terms initially agreed upon are honored.

This remedy is particularly common in cases involving unique items, such as real estate or rare goods, where monetary compensation would not adequately replace the value of the item being litigated. By compelling the party to fulfill their contractual duties, specific performance upholds the integrity of contractual agreements and ensures that parties can rely on the enforceability of their contracts.

In contrast, damages generally involve compensation for losses rather than fulfilling the contract terms; rescinding a contract voids it altogether, and mediation seeks to resolve disputes through negotiation rather than enforcement of original terms.
