Singapore courts can award damages to compensate for financial loss, order specific performance to compel the breaching party to fulfil the contract, or grant an injunction to stop a party from taking a particular action. Compensatory damages are the most common remedy and are calculated to put the innocent party in the position they would have been in had the contract been performed. Which remedy applies depends heavily on the facts and what was agreed in the contract itself.
