This Nutshell is a concise but comprehensive introduction to the Uniform Commercial Code for students and practitioners alike. The Nutshell not only covers each major topic of the Code, including the process of selling, payment, negotiation, shipping, storage, financing sales, and leasing of goods, but also makes it possible for readers to see how the various Articles of the Code may interact in a single transaction. Wherever practicable, the actual language of the Code and its comments has been used. The Nutshell?s comprehensive outline, thorough references to relevant authority, and intuitive system of cross-referencing contribute to its ease of use.
