metadata.name: dc.description.abstract
metadata.value: The article deals with moral and ethical factors of contract law influencing the choice between 
  specific performance and damages as the main remedy. Development of the law of contracts 
  depends on decision of three dilemmas: “deontology or utilitarianism”; “will theory or objec tive theory”; “pacta sunt servanda principle or its denial”. In the course of protection of the 
  contractual interest the law of contracts tends to right-based or economic theory depending 
  on decision of the dilemmas mentioned. The economic theory gives priority to claim for dam ages whereas the right-based theory to specific performance. The article reveals reasons why 
  specific performance is not popular in the USA as well as examines specific performance as 
  an equitable remedy. The subsidiary role of specific performance to damages is additionally 
  disclosed with regard to the adequacy of damages criterion which has not yet been followed 
  in continental law. The continental legal system determined balance between specific perfor mance and damages on the basis of Roman legal procedure (cognitio extraordinaria), in op eration during the post-classical period as well as the results of Roman law intellectualization 
  represented by the doctrine of interest (F.Mommsen) whereby the creditor`s interest replaced 
  by its equivalent after breach of contract. The aggrieved party is entitled to choose between 
  damages or specific performance with a preliminary letter of formal notice (France, Germany) 
  or without it (Russia).
