Frontispiece On Good Faith: A Functional Approach Within The Ucc, Christina L. Kunz Jan 1990

Frontispiece On Good Faith: A Functional Approach Within The Ucc, Christina L. Kunz

Faculty Scholarship

This article examines areas of the law with thin jurisprudences on good faith, and how the Uniform Commercial Code’s (UCC’s) express statutory rules have become an active laboratory of experiments on good faith. Part I discusses the general obligation of good faith under the UCC. Part II lays out and discusses how the specific UCC provisions on good faith serve one or more of the following functions: restrict the exercise of one-sided power in a contract, in order to avoid unfair or unexpected results; restrict the range of possible responses to defective performance or to an unexpected event, in order …

Exemptions Of Contract Liability Under The 1980 United Nations Convention, Wanki Lee Jan 1990

Exemptions Of Contract Liability Under The 1980 United Nations Convention, Wanki Lee

Penn State International Law Review (1982 - 2011)

This article will primarily discuss the United Nations Sales Convention. In interpreting the Convention, the central problem is to what extent Article 79 of the Convention will apply to the various cases. Does it apply only to cases of "force majeure" or "impossibility," i.e., cases in which there is a barrier that prevents performance or makes it impracticable? Or does it apply to cases of "frustration" or "imprévision," i.e., cases in which there is no barrier but the circumstances are radically changed because of a contingency contrary to the basic assumption on which the contract was made? Even if Article …


Pitfalls Of Public Policy: The Case Of Arbitration Agreements, Jeffrey W. Stempel Jan 1990

Pitfalls Of Public Policy: The Case Of Arbitration Agreements, Jeffrey W. Stempel

Scholarly Works

As the juxtaposition of these quotations suggests, judges have long held disparate views on the legitimacy and value of “public policy” considerations as a basis for legal decision making. The popular notion posits that Justice Holmes and legal realists carried the day, making public policy analysis an ordinary part of the adjudication process. The story, of course, is more complex than this legal version of Don Quixote. Many judges and lawyers, including Justice Holmes in other writings, continued to speak of adjudication in more formalist and positivist terms, with most laypersons in apparent agreement. Judge Burroughs' view of public policy …

Binding Contracts In Georgia Local Government Law: Configurations Of Codification, R. Perry Sentell Jr. Sep 1989

Binding Contracts In Georgia Local Government Law: Configurations Of Codification, R. Perry Sentell Jr.

Scholarly Works

The potential for creating uncertainty looms as a primary and ever-present problem in the codification process. A dominant concern is the fear the unintended statutory changes--or, worse still, the quandary of whether what appears to be such a change was truly intended--may result. The perplexing issues emanating from that quandary can considerably dissipate the benefits of progressive statutory codification. For purely illustrative purposes, attention might be called to the present plight of an historic precept in Georgia local government law. That precept unflinchingly condemns a local governing authority's efforts to commit its successors to a given course of governmental action. …

Written Agreements In The Lender-Borrower Context: The Illusion Of Certainty, Robert D. Rowe Jan 1989

Written Agreements In The Lender-Borrower Context: The Illusion Of Certainty, Robert D. Rowe

Vanderbilt Law Review

Recent legal battles in the lender-borrower arena have received widespread attention. The fact that these battles occur merits little surprise because borrowers often seek recourse against lenders when financial commitments go awry. Moreover, recent lender-borrower cases do not introduce any new legal theories. The outcome is the noteworthy feature of these cases. Borrowers increasingly are obtaining judgments against lenders. This Note examines recent lender-borrower cases from a contractual perspective, analyzing the application of traditional contract principles in the lender-borrower context. Part II of this Note contends that courts are trying to address three concerns in the lender-borrower context: maintenance of …
