Page One Records Ltd v Britton [1967] 3 All ER 822

Pop group “The Troggs” enter into an agreement with POR to be their managers
After awhile, The Troggs decide to terminate their agreement (stating breach but this is not held to be the case by the judge) and employ a new manager
The old manager sues

There was no evidence that the first manager breached the contract
But just because the Manager can recover damages does not mean he can get specific performance
To give specific performance would be to “tie together” two parties who don’t have any trust etc
To enforce an injunction would really be to force the Defendant to act positively in relation to personal services, which cannot be done.
Also it would severely detriment their careers and leave them starving
