On November 15, Joiner in a signed writing contracted with Galley for an agreed price to personally remodel Galley's kitchen according to specifications provided by Galley, and to start work on December 1. Joiner agreed to provide all materials for the job in addition to all of the labor required. For this question only, assume that on November 26 Joiner without legal excuse repudiated the contract and that Galley, after a reasonable and prolonged effort, could not find anyone to remodel his kitchen for a price approximating the price agreed to by Joiner. If one year later Galley brings an action for specific performance against Joiner, which of the following will provide Joiner with the best defense? 
An action for equitable relief not brought within a reasonable time is barred by laches. Specific performance is generally not available as a remedy to enforce a contractual duty to perform personal services. Specific performance is generally not available as a remedy in the case of an anticipatory repudiation. Specific performance is not available as a remedy where even nominal damages could have been recovered as a remedy at law.
