Damages and specific performance as remedies for breach

The breach of a contract normally gives the innocent party a right to damages at common law. Where damages are inadequate he may secure an order in equity for the specific performance of that contract . . . I am very clearly of the opinion that the plaintiff is entitled to be put in the same position as far as money can make it as if the contract (exhibit A) had been duly and properly performed.
