Can a Court Order ‘Specific Performance’ for a Failed Smart Contract?
Specific performance is a court order compelling a party to perform their contractual obligations. While a court can order a party to interact with a smart contract in a certain way, it cannot directly alter or force the immutable code to execute.
The order would be directed at the parties controlling the wallets or the developer to initiate a corrective transaction, but the code's inherent finality limits the effectiveness of this remedy.
