| Module 02 Written Assignment – Remedies |
Competency
Edit contracts involving merchants based on the Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) and related sources.
Scenario
Careful Seller, Inc. sold to Manufacturer and Buyer, Inc. many parts over the years. They had very few disputes. Each time the dispute was settled under the commercial code of the buyer’s state. The commercial code sales article in that state duplicates the Uniform Commercial Code.
Careful Seller, Inc. has fallen on hard times financially. Like many small companies, they do not keep a large cash reserve, and some buyers have not been paying fast enough. Ann Daniels, who owns the company and manages it, has asked the small law firm that employs you to advise her on seller’s remedies to use.
The buyer and seller have a master contract that is complete and enforceable. It applies to this situation.
20 customized parts have been ordered from Careful Seller, Inc. by Buyer Manufacturer, Inc. The price is $1,000 per part. They are customized with painted advertising for the Buyer’s needs. 20 parts have been shipped to the Buyer. 10 have been rejected and 10 accepted. The buyer has not paid for any of the parts. The buyer held all the parts for ten days and then returned the 10 rejected parts with a message that said they were too large for use and said that the buyer intended to use the acceptable ones and obtain cover for the other 10 parts from a different company.
Ann Daniels, on behalf of Careful Seller, Inc. replied by email that she insisted on immediate payment for the 10 parts they kept and that she would cure the shipment by sending 10 replacements within ten days. Careful Seller produced 10 more parts, all conforming, but they were also rejected, due to Manufacturer and Buyer buying ten parts from another company. The buyer has paid nothing.
