The Revision Of U.C.C. Articles Three And Four: A Process Which Excluded Consumer Protection Requires Federal Action, Mark E. Budnitz May 1992

The Revision Of U.C.C. Articles Three And Four: A Process Which Excluded Consumer Protection Requires Federal Action, Mark E. Budnitz

Mercer Law Review

The 1990 official revision to Articles 3 and 4 of the Uniform Commercial Code ("U.C.C.") represents a major failure in process. A crying need exists for a comprehensive national reevaluation of the law of payment systems as it affects all consumers. Instead, the sponsors of the revisions, the American Law Institute and the National Conference of Commissioners on Uniform State Laws, chose to exclude entirely issues of concern to consumers.

The Safety Risks Of Proposed Fuel Economy Legislation, John D. Graham

RISK: Health, Safety & Environment (1990-2002)

Based on, e.g., a comprehensive assessment of what is known of factors influencing automobile safety, previous industry responses to requirements for fuel economy and prior success of regulators in reducing injuries, Professor Graham concludes that pending fuel economy bills are apt to add 1650 fatalities and 8500 serious accidents to the annual highway toll. He also presents several short-term and long-term strategies for simultaneously saving fuel and lives.
