In Karachi, contracts create binding obligations between parties. When one party fails to fulfill their commitments—especially in property sales or business agreements—you have the legal right to demand Specific Performance of Contracts through the courts.
At GNS Law Associates, our experienced Specific Performance Lawyers in Karachi assist individuals and businesses in enforcing legal contracts. We ensure that agreements, particularly for property transactions, are honored through proper legal channels, protecting your rights and interests.
What is Specific Performance of Contracts?
Specific Performance is a legal remedy where the court orders a party to perform their contractual obligations, rather than simply paying compensation. This remedy is commonly used when:
✔️ A party refuses to transfer property after signing a sale agreement
✔️ A business contract is breached, causing serious loss
✔️ Monetary compensation is inadequate or impossible
✔️ The contract involves unique or irreplaceable subject matter
Under the Specific Relief Act, 1877, courts in Pakistan can enforce contracts when it’s just, equitable, and necessary to protect the aggrieved party.
When You Need to File Suit for Specific Performance
You should consult a lawyer and consider filing for specific performance if:
✔️ You signed a valid sale agreement for property, and the seller refuses to transfer ownership
✔️ You fulfilled your contractual obligations, but the other party breached the agreement
✔️ The subject of the contract is unique, such as real estate or custom-built items
✔️ Financial compensation alone won’t adequately cover your loss
We assist clients in preparing and filing specific performance suits to enforce agreements legally.
Common Cases of Suit for Specific Performance We Handle
Our team regularly deals with:
1️⃣ Property Sale Agreement Breaches
A seller signs a property sale agreement but later refuses to transfer ownership or delays registration. We file specific performance suits to compel property transfer.
2️⃣ Real Estate Development Contracts
In construction or housing projects, developers may breach contractual obligations. We assist buyers in enforcing their rights through legal action.
3️⃣ Business or Commercial Agreements
When commercial partners back out of legally binding agreements, we file suits to enforce performance or delivery of promised goods and services.
4️⃣ Breach of Service or Custom Product Contracts
For unique goods or services where monetary damages are insufficient, we pursue specific performance remedies.
Our legal team ensures your agreements are honored, safeguarding your property, business, and investments.
Legal Requirements for Suit for Specific Performance
Courts generally require:
✔️ A valid, enforceable contract between parties
✔️ Clear terms and obligations stated in writing
✔️ Plaintiff’s readiness and willingness to perform their part
✔️ No alternative adequate remedy available
✔️ The contract is lawful and not based on fraud or misrepresentation
Our lawyers carefully assess your case, gather evidence, and present a strong claim for specific performance in Karachi’s civil courts.
