This nutshell provides a concise but comprehensive introduction to the Uniform Commercial Code for students and practitioners alike. It 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 comprehensive outline, thorough references to relevant authority, and intuitive system of cross-referencing contribute to its ease of use. The 8th edition contains the 2010 Amendments to Article 9, with an effective date of July 1, 2013.
