Helvey brought suit against the Wabash County REMC (REMC) for breach of implied and express warranties. He alleged that REMC furnished electricity in excess of 135 volts to Helvey’s home, damaging his 110-volt household appliances. This incident occurred more than four years before Helvey brought this suit. In defense, REMC pleads that the Uniform Commercial Code’s (UCC’s) Article 2 statute of limitations of four years has passed, thereby barring Helvey’s suit. Helvey argues that providing electrical energy is not a transaction in goods under the UCC but rather a furnishing of services that would make applicable the general contract six-year statute of limitations. Is the contract governed by the UCC? Why or why not?
In the event that a buyer receives a shipment of seriously defective goods, under the CISG, the buyer must notify the seller of the defects within a reasonable time. True or False. Explain.
Liability for a Lost ATM Card
Joshua Franz, of Oxford, Mississippi, earned $4,600 during the summer and put $3,000 of
the money in a newly opened savings account for use during the school year.
It is now November 4th and Joshua went to the bank to withdraw some cash. The teller
informed him that there was only $2,100 in the account. When Joshua protested, the teller
informed him that there had been three ATM $300 withdrawals from the account on the
last day of the month in August, September and October.
Joshua typically neglects to open the statements he had received on the third day of each
month. When he got home he could not find the ATM card he had received when he
opened the account in August and recalled that he had found his car door open in his
parking lot in late August but had thought nothing was taken. When he opened the
statements he saw the record of each of the withdrawals. He went immediately back to the
bank to tell them of the loss.
How much money will Joshua lose…

- As discussed in the chapter, the Electronic Communications Privacy Act (ECPA) deals with three main issues: (1) the protection of communications while in transfer from sender to receiver; (2) the protection of communications held in electronic storage; and (3) the prohibition of devices from recording dialing, routing, addressing, and signaling information without a search warrant.
