"This is Not What I Ordered!" ? Buyer?s Remedies Under the Uniform Commercial Code

Taft attorneys Bill Serritella, John Riccione, Brianna Skelly and Allison Czerniak and Auste Graham, VP of Legal for Essentra, will speak at the seminar “This is Not What I Ordered!” – Buyer’s Remedies Under the Uniform Commercial Code,” the latest in our series on the various aspects of Article 2 of the Uniform Commercial Code. Prior seminars have focused on issues such as the formation of contracts, the “battle of the forms,” disclaimers of warranties, limitations of remedies and rights and remedies in the event of a breach.  

Our panelists will explore how the Code has codified traditional common law remedies, such as cover, damages, recovery, specific performance and resale, and how those remedies can be asserted properly under the Code. Panelists will explain the legal principles applicable to the various remedies, describe real life examples to articulate the practical applications of these remedies and answer specific questions from the audience about how these legal concepts apply to their own business enterprises.

This seminar is available to members of ACC only. More info is here.
