Several factors must be present to establish if a valid contract exists between Sam and the chain store. Thus, the “four elements of a contract are the agreement, the consideration, contractual capacity, and the legal object” (Kubasek, 2012, p. 304). The first element of the agreement would be deemed to

2.  Which article of the UCC sets out the law with regard to the sales of goods?

Yes Article 2 of the UCC does apply to the contracts between Grocery and their

The Uniform Commercial Code was published in 1952 by legal scholars in order to facilitate the easy information and enforcement of contracts in a fast- paced world. There are nine articles to the uniform commercial codes. Article one deals with the law of contracts and article nine deals with payment in security interest agreements. The most important article is article two which deals with the sale of goods. The definition of goods are anything movable, except for money, securities and certain legal rights . Article two also states the rules for contract formation, such as the firm offers, shipments of goods and modification of terms. Article two states the rule for contract repudiation and breach listing several scenarios. Lastly, UCC is produced by a private

The Uniform Commercial Code is a set of legal rules that was developed to bring about a sense of consistency to the commercial industry. It is merely a blueprint of how the developers interpret the way of doing business that would be fair and just to all parties concerned. It was totally up to the individual states if they would enact the UCC as written or construct modifications they felt were necessary to circumstances within that state. Once the codes were adopted by an individual state, they became the legal authority that still governs the way many business transactions are handled today.

He may also feel that the contact was breached and he is owed restitution. Marshall in this disagreement should first attempt to resolve this dispute without pursuing any legal action. He could use his faith and biblical teachings, to show errors of ways. He could argue the contract unenforceable due to fraud and inept execution, if he must rely on legal relief. The business relationship is best suited to be served also. The common law duty is to always act in good faith. Good faith performance is an implied agreement in nearly every contract in American common law jurisdictions (Burton, 1980). In the contract in question the promise was made, upholding an expectation of receiving the terms agreed upon in the contract. The issue is to act in good faith or to enforce the law. Marshall can secure not only supply, price, but also control of the benefits earned by his supplier. From a legal aspect, Marshall has acted in bad faith. A minor capacity to sign a contract is the bad faith act on Marshall’s part.

The letter addressed the contract as unconscionable and threatened litigation coupled with negative publicity in local newspapers. Takem’s concern of the validity of the accusations has merit, however, a court of law is best suited for determining the intricacies of contract law and whether there are grounds for an unconscionable contract. The customer has proposed that the contract should be considered complete and not further payments would be required. Even if a contract is considered unconscionable in a court of law, it does not mean that what is proposed will happen. The contract possibly is upheld with changes in some of the attributes of the contract or no changes made and the contract is upheld. The plausibility of this is slim, therefore, it is incumbent upon Tommy Takem to determine the risks associated with going to court and the possible negative publicity given to the case. It is the opinion of the author that if this case were to be litigated, adjudication will be in favor of the plaintiff (Sally Walker), however, the payments already paid for the computer is not sufficient to pay for the computer. The collateral (computer) will either be returned to Takem or Ms. Walker will be able to keep the computer and complete the payments in a revised contract by the court. The court would also admonish the business for its unethical and immoral business practices concerning predatory lending, good faith and truth in lending
