ANNOTATION
By conjoining the right of partial specific performance and a right to damages or other equitable relief, this statute simply makes it clear that the remedy of partial performance is an additional remedy rather than a substitute for any relief to which the purchaser would be entitled for the vendor's inability to fully comply with the terms of the contract.
