Common law and UCC laws can vary. Both of these are laws that U.S. The UCC was created to harmonize a particular or group of laws in all states of the U.S. Common laws can vary amongst each state. Common laws usually deal with real estate, service, insurance, intangible assets and employment contracts. If any changes are made to these laws, it could lead to the rejection or even counter offer of that offer. UCC Laws usually deal with the sales of goods and securities. Minor changes in UCC would not have any major effect on offer nor will it get cancelled. Common Law also may be express or implied. It provides a person who has suffered losses due to the negligence of another the right to obtain restitution from the wrongdoer. UCC Article 2 applies to the sale of goods, which involves the transfer of possession of tangible personal property in trade for money, goods or the performance of services. It acts to fill only missing or open items in a contract for the sale of goods.
An important difference between UCC and Common law contracts is that Article 2 provides its own rules for accepting an offer in a sales contract that are not as rigid as the common law rules. If the offer or does not clearly provide for a method of acceptance, the UCC allows the offeree to accept the offer in any “reasonable manner.” This difference provides for the opportunity to create certainty for the parties involved in the transaction. Contracts that are governed by common law must be supported by consideration, and common law cases involving a non-goods agreement cannot be modified without some additional consideration. The UCC follows a similar rule that consideration must support sales contracts, however, the UCC allows contracts to be modified even without any additional consideration. The UCC recognizes that market conditions are not static and that the parties may have good faith reasons for modifying a contract without having some additional burden to

    First in order for a contract to be binding, all elements must be included. These elements include the offer, acceptance, and the consideration. Since this is a contract for goods it must clearly state that this contract is for the sale of goods. In order for the contract to be valid in accordance with UCC policy, it only requires that the quantity of goods being sold be identified in the contract. “Except as otherwise provided in this section a contract for the sale of goods for the price of $500 or more is not enforceable by way of action or defense unless there is some writing sufficient to indicate that a contract for sale has been made between the…

    The Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) applies to sales contracts that are agreements for the sale of tangible, moveable goods (Melvin, Chapter 8, 2011). Therefore, the UCC Article 2 would apply to Grocery Inc. and the different vendors that are making agreements, but only if the contract was missing or had open terms. “Article 2 of the UCC acts to fill in only missing or open terms (where the parties have not expressly agreed otherwise) in a contract for the sale of goods” (Melvin, 2011, Chapter 8). Each contract agreement needs to be reviewed by both Grocery…

    In conclusion, sales contracts are similar to common law contracts, but may also have distinct differences in terms of offer, acceptance, and consideration. The UCC was established to ease commerce amongst the states and has been adopted by all, at least in-part. The code protects buyers and sellers in Article 2, Sales, and provides laws to be followed in the absence of specific terms set forth in a sales contract. Merchants and non-merchants conducting sales transactions, and having knowledge of the UCC, place themselves at less risk, and in a better position to avoid…

    CNMT 410 was an interesting class to learn about the professional workplace. The discussions on time stealing interested me the most since I had no idea what some employers consider stealing time. Besides the discussions I learned a lot about producing quality work. Before this class my resume and cover letter would’ve been a joke. Most likely I would’ve taken a generic resume from Google. The resume wouldn’t have been very personal or showcase my experience. There would have been the exact same problem with the cover letter. I had no idea before this class that the cover letter was meant to be a personal letter from myself to the hiring manager. I always thought cover letters were more or less optional and just a generic short essay on who I was as a person. The quality of my work increased tenfold just from…

    Common Law Contracts

    Inc. Grocery, Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) Does Article 2 of the Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) apply to the contracts between Grocery, Inc. and its vendors? Do common law contracts apply? Explain your answer in detail. Your answer should compare and contrast law contracts and UCC Article 2 contracts. The Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) Article 2 applies only to contracts for the sale of goods. The definition of goods is defined as goods that are tangible, movable, or personal property. However, UCC Article 2 does not apply to real estate contracts or employment contracts. Common law contracts are for the sale of services or intangible items. UCC would only apply contracts that are established on actual sales and the way the sales are conducted. Contracts Grocery, Inc. would have with the vendors are normal contracts with only the shipping and payment terms using the UCC Article 2. Common law contracts are made between two individual parties. If Tom is willing to allow Jeff to work with him for the summer, then there are no contracts being affected. There would be no common law contract either due to Jeff is not of majority age. He is still considered a minor resulting in he cannot sign contracts and be held liable for such contracts. Grocery, Inc. Renovation Who Wins? Explain your answer. An injunction is a court order prohibiting the other party from performing a certain act. The petitioning party must show where if the injunction is not ordered, there will be irreparable damage or injury. A breach of contract occurs when one party fails to comply with a written legal contract. Specific performance is only considered when the act being performed is unique or rare. Grocery, Inc. must prove to where irreparable damage has occurred. This can be proven using the facts of the…

    Egl 202 Week 1 Reflection

    • 560 Words
    • 3 Pages

    ENGL 202 was a tremendous experience for my second quarter at Humphrey's University. I feel that I have benefited from the knowledge gained from the course and learned vastly to working and analyzing not only my own writings but also with other writings. In the beginning of this course, we have learned how to specifically understand how a well-versed paper can be defined and what it is not. The first essay that we analyzed was based off a concerned parent to beauty pageants for children under 10 years of age. We first analyzed her topic and learned that while it is a concerning issue, her essay was no more than a simple rant that lacks research and specific data that would be relevant to her essay. From there we analyzed other topics that, while they were well-researched topics, they had specific “holes” in them that affected their credibility, such as a lack of authority towards the author or missing valuable research. One in particular was to an author that relied on emotion for being against the death penalty. These helped us to analyze essays better and to learn what not to do in a research assignment. This next element of…

    This week was much calmer compared to last week. Friday the 15th marked the beginning of my second week interning. It was really nice seeing the same face over again for a change. I am begging to know where everything is. Which is beyond a relief to me because it is important for me to know where all supplies are located in the artroom. Also it makes it easier for me to help Ms. Shaw. I really feel Ms. Shaw and I work well together. She is very inviting, informative and easy to work with. This week my biggest lesson I learned is flexibility is key. A little girl named Imagine was given an art piece to finish that was not hers. By this time all projects had been handed out and most students were already working on them.…
