The current thirteenth edition of the book has been thoroughly revised and updated by Prof. Rajesh Kapoor with recent case laws and statutory amendments including the Specific Relief (Amendment) Act, 2018.
The practice to award damages as a general rule and grant specific performance as an exception was done away with the enactment of Specific Relief (Amendment) Act, 2018. This amendment gave wider discretion to courts for granting specific performance and made specific performance of contract a general rule rather than an exception subject to certain limited grounds. Further, among other things, the amendment also provides for substituted performance of contracts and enables the courts to engage experts on specific issues.
A new feature added to this Edition is a chapter-wise select list of articles published in various law review journals. Full text of these articles are available on SCC Online® Web Edition.
This work reveals the rich experience and pragmatic approach of the author, which renders the book indispensable for the legal fraternity and students alike. The book is greatly admired and read by students, lawyers, judges, academicians, researchers and has been extolled by reviewers in India and abroad.
