You Be The Judge #6: TYPES OF WARRANTIES
INTRODUCTION:
Read the overview below and complete the activities that follow.
The following “You be the Judge” video involves a scenario where the judge must determine whether there are any express or implied warranties for products sold by the defendant. The defendant sold guitars to the plaintiff’s company, and the plaintiff argues that the guitars did not meet the specifications they agreed upon.
CONCEPT REVIEW:
At common law, the only implied warranty is the warranty of assignability. When a party “assigns” a contract to another party, the assignor is impliedly guaranteeing that the rights being assigned are valid. However, the Uniform Commercial Code adds to this concept. The warranties discussed in this chapter include both express and implied warranties. Express warranties are explicitly stated, whereas implied warranties are automatically, as a matter of law, injected into the contract.
