Although there are many executory contracts equity will not enforce specifically, contracts for the sale of land have generally been held to be specifically enforceable. Maitland had said that "specific performance applies to agreements for the sale or lease of land as a matter of course" and this conclusion has been reiterated by the Supreme Court of Canada. The traditional view that ordinarily damages would not be an adequate remedy for breach of a contract for the sale of land is based on the assumption that each parcel of land is unique and thus damages would not permit the plaintiff purchaser to find a substitute.
