    type of contract cannot be specifically performed?

    D Contracts for advancement of money Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E Contracts relating to intellectual property Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Section 11 provides that specific performance cannot be decreed for contracts that are dependent on personal skill or involve personal service. This is because the court cannot compel a person to render personal services against their will; damages are the adequate remedy. However, the breach of covenants in such contracts may be restrained by injunction. [Citation: Section 11, Specific Relief Act, 1963]
