Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Specific performance is historically an equitable remedy but it is now granted by the courts as the courts of common law have been fused with the courts of equity. This statement is the only one that correctly identifies specific performance as an equitable remedy and acknowledges the fusion of courts. Choice A is partially correct but does not acknowledge the fusion of courts. Choice B is incorrect because the fusion of courts does not mean that there is no need to distinguish between law and equity. Choice C is incorrect because legislative litigation involves a claim by a private party against the government, not another private party. Choice D is incorrect because Alberta is a common law jurisdiction but this case does not necessarily involve laws that were historically developed in French courts.
