In 1978 the Cornell Law Review published a Special Project devoted to Article Two commercial warranties. Nine years have since elapsed, and we have decided to update and reassess this important area of the law. We have discovered that although judicial treatment of many aspects of Article Two warranty law has remained stable, in some instances the courts' treatment has progressed and in other instances it has become unclear. This Special Project is our attempt to assemble these changes, interpret the progress, and suggest new lines of analysis to clarify areas of conflict.
Preserving Purchase Money Security Interests And Allocating Payments, Lynda Kay Chandler
Preserving Purchase Money Security Interests And Allocating Payments, Lynda Kay Chandler
University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform
This Note explores the rationale underlying the courts' conflicting decisions in light of the purposes of the UCC. It concludes that the language of the UCC and its goals of uniformity and simplification require that a PMSI should not be entirely destroyed because a creditor also has a security interest in items the debtor acquired after the purchase money transaction or because a creditor extends additional credit. The best solution is to permit the creditor to retain a PMSI, to the extent of the purchase money loan, in those goods that the creditor's loan helped to purchase.

The Collision Of Tort And Contract In The Construction Industry, Murray H. Wright, Edward E. Nicholas Iii
The Collision Of Tort And Contract In The Construction Industry, Murray H. Wright, Edward E. Nicholas Iii
University of Richmond Law Review
Over the past two decades, several courts have allowed construction industry plaintiffs to assert tort claims to recover for purely economic losses (i.e. other than injury to person or property) from other participants in the construction process. Parties assert tort claims, instead of or in addition to contract claims, to take advantage of the more liberal tort damage rules and, probably more importantly, to escape unfavorable contract provisions. This article briefly discusses the different origins and goals of tort and contract law. It then reviews some of the decisions allowing recovery of purely economic losses in tort as well as …
Annual Survey Of Virginia Law: Commercial Law, Michael J. Herbert
Annual Survey Of Virginia Law: Commercial Law, Michael J. Herbert
University of Richmond Law Review
It has been a fairly busy year for Commercial Law in Virginia courts, but not in the legislature. This may not last; there are already legislative efforts underway to extend the coverage of Virginia's Uniform Commercial Code (the "Code") to electronic fund transfers and personal property leasing. If those efforts are successful, the General Assembly will soon have on its hands the considerable task of evaluating the first major overhaul of the Code in a decade.

Strict Liability For Chattel Leasing, Richard C. Ausness
Strict Liability For Chattel Leasing, Richard C. Ausness
Law Faculty Scholarly Articles
Leasing has become an increasingly popular substitute for outright purchases as a means of acquiring products for use. Few courts and commentators, however, have addressed the question of whether the principles of strict products liability which apply to sellers also apply to lessors. In this Article, Professor Ausness reviews the historical basis for imposing strict liability in tort on sellers and applies these rationales to five basic kinds of lease transactions. He concludes that strict liability should not apply when a product defect arises after the leased product is placed in the hands of the lessee (as contrasted with the …
