California Civil Code · 2020-11 edition · updated 2026-10-04 · California

It is to be presumed that the breach of an agreement to transfer real property cannot be adequately relieved by pecuniary compensation. In the case of a single-family dwelling which the party seeking performance intends to occupy, this presumption is conclusive. In all other cases, this presumption is a presumption affecting the burden of proof.

(Amended by Stats. 1984, Ch. 937, Sec. 1.)
