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.

He also presents several short-term and long-term strategies for simultaneously saving fuel and lives.
