Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Chin Chang is entitled to specific performance, which is an equitable remedy that requires the breaching party (Pedro) to fulfill their contractual obligations. In this case, Pedro agreed to sell the antique dresser to Chin Chang for $2500, and Chin Chang made a down payment and agreed to return for the item at a later date. Pedro's refusal to sell the item to Chin Chang is a breach of contract, and as such, Chin Chang can seek an order from a court to force Pedro to fulfill his obligation to sell the antique dresser to him.
