Yes, and restitution. Many remedies are available for breach contract.
An equitable remedy is different from a (money) damages remedy, usually because no amount of money would solve the plaintiff's problem. In other cases, such as contract modification, it is more efficient to restate the agreement than to guess at what the parties' damages might be.
Rescission is considered an equitable remedy. It allows a contract to be cancelled and parties to be restored to their pre-contractual positions. It is typically granted by a court to prevent unjust enrichment or unfair outcomes.
Specific performance is when the court orders someone who is in breach of contract to do what they said they would do under the contract. Specific performance is not granted if the contractual breach can be remedied with damages, or if it is a personal service.
Specific performance is a legal remedy where a court orders a party to fulfill their contractual obligations as agreed upon in the contract. On the other hand, an injunction is a court order that prohibits a party from performing a particular action. Injunctions are typically used to prevent harm or enforce the terms of a contract, while specific performance focuses on compelling performance of the contract itself.
A specific performance court order is an order that requires the recipient of the order to perform the ordered act. A specific performance order is usually an alternative to awarding damages and can be in the form of any forced action.
When deciding between a legal remedy or an equitable remedy, factors to consider include the nature of the harm, the available remedies, the effectiveness of each remedy, and the principles of fairness and justice in the specific situation.

They are normally considered an equitable remedy. In some cases there may be more equitable methods of compensation.
When deciding between legal and equitable remedies, consider factors such as the nature of the harm, the available remedies, the effectiveness of each remedy, and the specific circumstances of the case. Legal remedies typically involve monetary compensation, while equitable remedies focus on fairness and non-monetary relief like injunctions or specific performance. It is important to weigh these factors to determine which type of remedy is most suitable for the situation.
Legal remedies are typically monetary compensation or specific performance ordered by a court, while equitable remedies involve non-monetary solutions like injunctions or specific performance. Legal remedies focus on compensating the injured party, while equitable remedies aim to prevent unjust enrichment or enforce fairness. The choice of remedy can significantly impact the outcome of a court case, as it determines the type of relief granted to the parties involved.

Injunctions are equitable remedies, they are not remedies which the claimant has a right to and are therefore given at the discretion f the court.
If the plaintiff ASKS for, or agrees to ACCEPT, an equitable remedy, this could be true statement.
Equitable remedies for breach of contract include specific performance, injunctions, rescission, and restitution. These remedies aim to provide fair and just outcomes when a contract is not fulfilled as agreed upon.
Court remedies that require parties to perform certain acts or specifically perform a contract. Courts generally refrain from granting a remedy in equity if either a remedy in law, i.e. monetary damage awards, or a restitutionary remedy, e.g. quasi-contract remedy to prevent unjust enrichment, is available. Civil claims may be divided roughly into two categories, tort-based claims and contract-based claims. Equitable reliefs available to either category of civil claims are similar, but there are some differences to the factors that a court will consider before granting an equitable relief of either permanent injunction (in torts) or specific performance (in contracts). Considerations for Permanent Injunction 1. Inadequacy of Legal Remedy - Speculative nature of damages - Insolvency of defendant - Multiplicity of future lawsuits to remedy the wrong - Irreparable harm to plaintiff 2. Property or Personal Interest of the Plaintiff at Stake 3. Feasibility of Enforcement - "Equity will not enjoin a crime" (but tortious conduct can be enjoined). 4. Balancing of Hardship to Parties 5. Defenses of Laches and "Unclean Hands" - Laches: plaintiff's unreasonable delay in brining a suit that has prejudicial effect on defendant's interests Considerations for Specific Performance 1. Validity of Contract 2. Condition of the Plaintiff in Performance of the Contract 3. Inadequacy of Legal Remedy - Speculative nature of damages - Insolvency of defendant - Multiplicity of future lawsuits to remedy the wrong - Uniqueness of the contract subject matter 4. Mutuality of Remedies 5. Feasibility of Enforcement - Court will generally refuse to grant specific performance for service contracts, because of the implication of involuntary servitude. - Administrative difficulty with supervising the defendant's specific performance, e.g. whether his contract performance is adequate, may make the court reluctant to grant a relief to the plaintiff. On the other hand, negative injunctions are easier to supervise and so may be granted more readily. 6. Defenses of Laches, "Unclean Hands," and Unconscionability - Unconscionability: If the terms of the contract are unconscionable to enforce, given the relative bargaining powers of the parties, for example, the court will refuse to order specific performance of its unconscionable terms.
