Supreme Court of South Carolina.

Decided July 1, 1996.

Rehearing Denied July 24, 1996.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

J. Dwight Hudson, Myrtle Beach, for Appellant.

Joseph D. McMaster, of Tompkins and McMaster, Columbia, for Respondents.

TOAL, Justice:

In this action for specific performance of a land sales contract, Appellant Charles Strickland appeals the Special Referee's award of both general damages and specific performance to the sellers. Strickland also appeals the award of attorney's fees to the sellers. Because general damages and specific performance are alternative remedies, we reverse the award of specific performance but retain the general damages award.
