What is U.C.C.?


For the purposes of this article, the U.C.C. is the UNIFORM COMMERCIAL CODE.


It is "The UCC is a collection of proposed model laws, drafted by the American Law Institute and the National Conference of Commissioners on Uniform State Laws, that are meant to serve as a guide for state legislatures when they draft statutes involving commercial contracts and related dealings." https://guides.loc.gov/contract-law/uniform-commercial-code


According to § 1-103 Construction of Uniform Commercial Code, is to Promote its Purposes and Policies: Applicability of Supplemental Principles of Law.


(a) The Uniform Commercial Code must be liberally construed and applied to promote its underlying purposes and policies, which are: (1) to simplify, clarify, and modernize the law governing commercial transactions; (2) to permit the continued expansion of commercial practices through custom, usage, and agreement of the parties; and (3) to make uniform the law among the various jurisdictions.


(b) Unless displaced by the particular provisions of the Uniform Commercial Code, the principles of law and equity, including the law merchant and the law relative to capacity to contract, principal and agent, estoppel, fraud, misrepresentation, duress, coercion, mistake, bankruptcy, and other validating or invalidating cause supplement its provisions.". https://www.law.cornell.edu/ucc/1/1-103


Another article expresses this to be "The Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) is a comprehensive set of laws governing all commercial transactions in the United States. It is not a federal law, but a uniformly adopted state law. Uniformity of law is essential in this area for the interstate transaction of business." https://www.uniformlaws.org/acts/ucc
