Creating Cryptolaw For The Uniform Commercial Code, Carla L. Reyes Oct 2021

Creating Cryptolaw For The Uniform Commercial Code, Carla L. Reyes

Washington and Lee Law Review

A contract generally only binds its parties. Security agreements, which create a security interest in specific personal property, stand out as a glaring exception to this rule. Under certain conditions, security interests not only bind the creditor and debtor, but also third-party creditors seeking to lend against the same collateral. To receive this extraordinary benefit, creditors must put the world on notice, usually by filing a financing statement with the state in which the debtor is located. Unfortunately, the Uniform Commercial Code (U.C.C.) Article 9 filing system fails to provide actual notice to interested parties and introduces risk of heavy …


The Hierarchy Of Priority, Paul Wangerin Apr 2016

The Hierarchy Of Priority, Paul Wangerin

The Journal of Business, Entrepreneurship & the Law

The analysis in this article suggests that there is a hierarchy of priorities in Article 9 of the UCC and that this hierarchy is relatively simple to describe. The analysis here describes this hierarchy by engaging in a two-part analysis. Part I suggests that the rules for priorities in Article 9 come out of the interaction of a number of variables, variables that are well-known to everybody who is familiar with Article 9. Part II suggests that the variables described in Part I allow us to put all of the important rules about priorities into a simple chart that shows …


Bringing Continuity To Cryptocurrency: Commercial Law As A Guide To The Asset Categorization Of Bitcoin, Evan Hewitt Mar 2016

Bringing Continuity To Cryptocurrency: Commercial Law As A Guide To The Asset Categorization Of Bitcoin, Evan Hewitt

Seattle University Law Review

This Note will undertake to analyze bitcoin under the Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) and the Internal Revenue Code (IRC)—two important sources of commercial law—to see whether any existing asset categories adequately protect bitcoin’s commercial viability. This Note will demonstrate that although commercial law dictates that bitcoin should—nay must—be regulated as a currency in order to sustain its existence, the very definition of currency seems to preclude that from happening. Therefore, this Note will recommend that we experiment with a new type of asset that receives currency-like treatment, specifically designed for cryptocurrencies, under which bitcoin can be categorized in order to …


Constitutional Law And Secured Transactions: State Action V. Private Action - Uniform Commercial Code Self-Help; Repossession Provisions - Do Not Violate Due Process Requirements; Adams V. Southern California First National Bank, David M. Hunter Aug 2015

Constitutional Law And Secured Transactions: State Action V. Private Action - Uniform Commercial Code Self-Help; Repossession Provisions - Do Not Violate Due Process Requirements; Adams V. Southern California First National Bank, David M. Hunter

Akron Law Review

Several years ago, the United States Supreme Court, in Sniadach v. Family Finance Corp.,' signaled what has been eventually interpreted in subsequent decisions as the strict measurement of creditors' rights against the requirements of due process set forth in the fourteenth amendment. What has since transpired has been an onslaught of litigation in this area of such magnitude that the due process requirements of prior notice and hearing found in Sniadach have been extended to virtually all forms of prejudgment remedies available to the aggrieved creditor. Despite all of this, the rationale of the Court of Appeals for the Ninth …

Some Economic Insights Into Application Of Payments Doctrine: Walker-Thomas Revisited, James W. Bowers Jan 2014

Some Economic Insights Into Application Of Payments Doctrine: Walker-Thomas Revisited, James W. Bowers

Chicago-Kent Law Review

Contractual relations frequently involve multiple transactions, which might give rise either to a single aggregate debt, or else to multiple differing obligations. This conflict creates the application of payments problem. Unsurprisingly, the common law developed long-standing rules for the application of partial payments to multiple, but remedially distinguishable debts. The subject is made timely again by the recent enactments of the 1999 revision of Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code. Article 9 instructs courts how to solve the application of payments problem when some partial payments might satisfy “purchase money” security interests. The enactments repealed the common law application …

The U.C.C. And Franchise Act Remedies: Coast To Coast Stores, Inc. V. Gruschus, Misty Ellen Mondress Jan 1986

The U.C.C. And Franchise Act Remedies: Coast To Coast Stores, Inc. V. Gruschus, Misty Ellen Mondress

Seattle University Law Review

Coast to Coast Stores, Inc. v. Gruschus was the first Washington case to deal with the potential conflict between the Uniform Commercial Code (U.C.C.) and the Franchise Investment Protection Act (FIPA), arising when a franchisor repossesses goods after a franchisee defaults under a security agreement. The Washington Supreme Court avoided the conflict, however, by holding that because the franchisor never terminated the franchise, the FIPA protections were not triggered. The U.C.C. remedies therefore applied: the franchisor could collect the proceeds of a liquidation sale of the secured goods-in this case the franchisee's inventory and supplies-in reduction of the franchisee's indebtedness; …

New Tricks For Old Dogs, Harry L. Snead Jr.

University of Richmond Law Review

On the first day of January, 1966, Virginia practitioners will receive a bagful of .new tricks. The UNIFORM COMMERCIAL CODE becomes effective in Virginia on that day. In adopting the Code during its 1964 legislative session Virginia became the twenty-ninth state to adopt the Code; the Virginia version of the Code follows, with but few exceptions, the official version sponsored by the Commissioners on Uniform State Laws.
