Nyguira Graham Professor Lori Baggot LEG 565: Week 8 Assignment – Food, COVID, and the Uniform Commercial Law
Based on the scenario provided, it can be determined that a contract was indeed formed. Since there was an agreement to buy and sell groceries and sundries for five years between Dan, Leo, and Public Growers, Inc, with the understanding that a consistent number of products would be purchased weekly, a contract was therefore formed. “Article 2 of the Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) governs sales contracts or contracts for the sale of goods (Clarkson, 1, p. 361) .” The UCC also provides rules and regulations for commercial transactions related to the sale of goods. So therefore, this situation would be governed by the Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) since it deals with the sale of goods, which would include groceries and sundries.
“Under the parol evidence rule, if a court finds that a written contract represents the complete and final statement of the parties’ agreement, it will not allow either party to present parol evidence (Clarkson, 2, p. 302) .” The whole idea behind this rule is to give importance to the written contract as the best evidence of the parties' intentions. In this case, parol evidence may be admissible to explain the terms of the contract since the contract does not actually define what constitutes groceries and sundries, but however, the UCC does has certain exceptions when it comes to the interpretation of contracts. “For example, the UCC's "Statute of Frauds" requires that certain contracts, including sales of goods over $500, must be in writing. If the contract is clear and understanding, parol evidence may not be admissible.
