Uniform Commercial Code (UCC)

Ohio Uniform Commercial Code Lawyer

Every day, every week, businesses engage in millions of transactions involving the sale of goods. Most of these transactions are performed without legal counsel and often without contractual documentation. Article 2 of the Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) governs many of these routine transactions, a measure intended to foster commerce through common sense legal principles.

UCC Article 2: Sale of goods

Uniform Commercial Code disputes arise out of commercial sales that require litigation due to one party's non-compliance with the terms of the contract. Disputes may involve receipt of goods, quality of goods, records of sale, remedial promises of sellers to repair or replace goods, conformance of goods to contract specifications, or any lack of good faith performance under the terms of the purchase contract.

Business losses due to breach of contract under the UCC

Under the Uniform Commercial Code, losses may be a primary or secondary result of the breach of contract. Goods delivered may not be suitable for resale, or manufacturing equipment purchased to increase a business's production may be defective, leading to a claim for interruption of production, lost production, and lost sales. If, after evaluating your claim, our lawyers determine that you have a meritorious claim, we will aggressively represent your interests.
