Der Grundsatz der Naturalerfüllung

The principle that contractual as well as legal claims are to be implemented as stipulated in the contract ( in specie) is seen as a feature of German and continental European law. Thomas Riehm studies this principle and its limitations, i.e. the transitional prerequisites of monetary compensation in place of specific performance, from the perspective of history and comparative law, economics and legal dogmatics and develops a comprehensive model for contractual and legal claims.
