The Relationship between the Treatment of Penalty Clauses and the Treatment of Performance Based Remedies Sample Clauses

The Relationship between the Treatment of Penalty Clauses and the Treatment of Performance Based Remedies. The difference between the civil and common law treatment of penalty clauses is mirrored in the treatment of performance-based remedies in the two legal systems. The civil law treats specific performance as the ordinary remedy for breach, while the common law treats specific performance as an extraordinary remedy.87 The common law approach to specific performance is based on the same doctrinal underpinnings as its approach to penalty clauses—the ordinary common law of remedies is neutral, as between performance and payment of damages in compensation for non-performance. As in the case of penalty clauses, the common law’s treatment of performance-based remedies reflects a general “economic” approach to remedies.88 Admittedly, a court may, under proper circumstances, order specific performance, notwithstanding the fact that such as award may be inconsistent with this general neutrality. However, a discretionary award of specific performance by a court of equity is far different than the grant of power to one of the parties to compel performance through a punitive damages clause. A more complete comparison of civil and common law approaches to performance-based remedies is beyond the scope of this article. However, the essential nature of the relationship between the treatment of penalty clauses and performance-based remedies within the two legal systems is important in understanding why the former are not governed by the CISG.
