An actress contracted exclusively with a film company and agreed not to act for any other company during the contract. She left to work elsewhere. In Warner Bros v Nelson, what remedy did the court grant?

Correct answer: A) An injunction preventing her from acting for another film company during the contract period

Explanation

The court will not order specific performance of a contract of personal service, but may enforce an express negative stipulation by injunction. The injunction was limited to acting for other film companies, so she was not forced to perform for Warner Bros or face starvation, as she could still earn a living in other ways. Compare Page One Records v Britton, where an injunction was refused because it would in effect compel performance.
