Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Since the collection of sports memorabilia is unique, and Jane has refused to sell it to Ira after he made a valid agreement and sent a down payment, Ira can seek specific performance. This means that he can ask the court to order Jane to complete the transaction and deliver the collection to him as agreed. Damages, reformation, or rescission may not be appropriate in this situation, as they would not guarantee Ira's access to the unique collection.
