Mission Impracticable: The Impossibility of Commercial Impracticability

[Excerpt] “Residents of Chicago’s Streeterville neighborhood certainly cannot forget the recent financial crisis thanks to a gaping hole in their midst. That hole is to be the home of the Spire, the tallest building in the Northern Hemisphere, at 2,000 feet high with 1,194 residences ranging in price from $750,000 for a studio to$40 million for the penthouse. The developer, Shelbourne Development Group, Inc., began construction in 2007 using its own funds. It also obtained “starter” funds from Bank of America via a loan agreement that required Shelbourne to demonstrate proof of a construction loan by November 1, 2008. Although Shelbourne sold thirty percent of the building, it could not obtain construction financing due to the worsening global financial and credit crisis. Bank of America declared the loan in default and sued Shelbourne for the outstanding principal, interest, and fees. As part of its defense, Shelbourne argued that the court should excuse it (temporarily) from providing proof of a construction loan, due to the ‘unforeseeable and unprecedented economic downturn and recession, particularly in the real estate market.’

Level Up: Employing the Commerce Clause To Federalize the Sale of Goods

This Article argues that rather than wait until the defects become insurmountable, we should act now to address the defects in the law of sales and enact a federal sales act to supplant Article 2 using congressional power under the Commerce Clause. Part II details the defects of Article 2 that are in need of repair, which include creating inconsistent results across the states, failing to adapt to changing trends in our modern commercial environment, and utilizing a private drafting process that fails to balance the competing interests of businesses and consumers. Part II then demonstrates that the current uniform code model cannot correct those defects due to its biased, cumbersome, and consensus-oriented amendment process. Next, Part III proposes a federal sales act to replace Article 2 and explains why a federal sales act is a practical solution for the sale of goods. Although the concept of a federal sales act is not novel, the dramatic changes in our commercial environment over the past sixty years coupled with the decline of Article 2 make a federal sales act an appropriate route to achieving a uniform, simple, and predictable body of sales law. Finally, Part IV establishes the viability of a federal sales act under the Commerce Clause, demonstrating that such an act is precisely the type of legislation intended by the clause despite recent Supreme Court rulings. Moreover, a federal sales act is consistent with the principles of federalism under which the Framers founded the United States of America

Two Too Many: Third Party Beneficiaries of Warranties Under the Uniform Commercial Code

(Excerpt) This Article surveys and analyzes the current version of section 2-318 and suggests improvements so that section 2-318 produces more uniform and equitable results that better facilitate interstate commerce in today’s complex commercial environment. Part I discusses the historical genesis of section 2- 318, specifically the common law concept of privity and its progression to the current version of section 2-318. Part II expounds upon certain issues with section 2-318 as currently drafted, which include lack of uniformity and lack of remedy for a valid breach of warranty claim. Part III establishes how the courts have begun eroding the concept of privity in spite of the language of section 2-318, thus eliminating the need for alternatives. Part IV proposes improvements to section 2-318 in accordance with current case law and public policy aimed at protecting consumers. Finally, Part V demonstrates that the states would adopt the proposed provision given today’s consumer-centric society
