(a) In rejecting goods, a lessee’s failure to state a particular defect that is ascertainable by reasonable inspection precludes the lessee from relying on the defect to justify rejection or to establish default: (1) If, stated seasonably, the lessor or the supplier could have cured it (§ 28:2A-513); or (2) Between merchants if the lessor or the supplier after rejection has made a request in writing for a full and final written statement of all defects on which the lessee proposes to rely. (b) A lessee’s failure to reserve rights when paying rent or other consideration against documents precludes recovery of the payment for defects apparent in the documents.  (July 22, 1992, D.C.

(a) A lessor aggrieved under § 28:2A-523(a) may: (1) Identify to the lease contract conforming goods not already identified if at the time the lessor learned of the default they were in the lessor’s or the supplier’s possession or control; and (2) Dispose of goods (§ 28:2A-527(a)) that demonstrably have been intended for the particular lease contract even though those goods are unfinished. (b) If the goods are unfinished, in the exercise of reasonable commercial judgment for the purposes of avoiding loss and of effective realization, an aggrieved lessor or the supplier may either complete manufacture and wholly identify the goods to the lease contract or cease manufacture and lease, sell, or otherwise dispose of the goods for scrap or salvage value or proceed in any other reasonable manner.

Under “(ii)”, the lease contract may give the lessor the remedies of identification and disposition provided by this section in various ways. For example, a lease provision might specifically refer to the remedies of identification and disposition, or it might refer to this section by number (i.e., 2A-524), or it might do so by a more general reference such as “all rights and remedies provided by Article 2A for default by the lessee.” Definitional Cross References: “Aggrieved party”.

(a) A lessor may stop delivery of goods in the possession of a carrier or other bailee if the lessor discovers the lessee to be insolvent and may stop delivery of carload, truckload, planeload, or larger shipments of express or freight if the lessee repudiates or fails to make a payment due before delivery, whether for rent, security or otherwise under the lease contract, or for any other reason the lessor has a right to withhold or take possession of the goods. (b) In pursuing its remedies under subsection (a) of this section, the lessor may stop delivery until: (1) Receipt of the goods by the lessee; (2) Acknowledgment to the lessee by any bailee of the goods, except a carrier, that the bailee holds the goods for the lessee; or (3) Such an acknowledgment to the lessee by a carrier via reshipment or as a warehouse. (c)(1) To stop delivery, a lessor shall so notify as to enable the bailee by reasonable diligence to prevent delivery of the goods. (2) After notification, the bailee shall hold and deliver the goods according to the directions of the lessor, but the lessor is liable to the bailee for any ensuing charges or damages. (3) A carrier who has issued a nonnegotiable bill of lading is not obliged to obey a notification to stop received from a person other than the consignor.  (July 22, 1992, D.C.

(a) If a third party so deals with goods that have been identified to a lease contract as to cause actionable injury to a party to the lease contract: (1) The lessor has a right of action against the third party, and (2) The lessee also has a right of action against the third party if the lessee: (A) Has a security interest in the goods; (B) Has an insurable interest in the goods; or (C) Bears the risk of loss under the lease contract or has since the injury assumed that risk as against the lessor and the goods have been converted or destroyed. (b) If at the time of the injury the party plaintiff did not bear the risk of loss as against the other party to the lease contract and there is no arrangement between them for disposition of the recovery, his or her suit or settlement, subject to his or her own interest, is as a fiduciary for the other party to the lease contract. (c) Either party with the consent of the other may sue for the benefit of whom it may concern.  (July 22, 1992, D.C. Law 9-128, § 2(b), 39 DCR 3830.)  Prior Codifications 1981 Ed., § 28:2A-531.

In addition to any other necessary recovery permitted by this article or other law, the lessor may recover from the lessee an amount that will fully compensate the lessor for any loss or damage to the lessor’s residual interest in the goods caused by the default of the lessee.  (July 22, 1992, D.C. Law 9-128, § 2(b), 39 DCR 3830.)  Prior Codifications 1981 Ed., § 28:2A-532. Uniform Commercial Code Comment Uniform Statutory Source: None. This section recognizes the right of the lessor to recover under this Article (as well as under other law) from the lessee for failure to comply with the lease obligations as to the condition of leased goods when returned to the lessor, for failure to return the goods at the end of the lease, or for any other default which causes loss or injury to the lessor’s residual interest in the goods.

(a) A person has control of a certificated security, uncertificated security, or security entitlement as provided in § 28:8-106. (b) A secured party has control of a commodity contract if: (1) The secured party is the commodity intermediary with which the commodity contract is carried; or (2) The commodity customer, secured party, and commodity intermediary have agreed that the commodity intermediary will apply any value distributed on account of the commodity contract as directed by the secured party without further consent by the commodity customer. (c) A secured party having control of all security entitlements or commodity contracts carried in a securities account or commodity account has control over the securities account or commodity account.  (Oct. 26, 2000, D.C. Law 13-201, § 101, 47 DCR 7576.)  Section References This section is referenced in § 28:9-203, § 28:9-207, § 28:9-208, § 28:9-314, § 28:9-328, and § 28:9-601. Uniform Commercial Code Comment 1. Source. Former Section 9-115(e). 2. “Control” Under Article 8. For an explanation of “control” of securities and certain other investment property, see Section 8-106, Comments 4 and 7. 3. “Control” of Commodity Contracts. This section, as did former Section 9-115(1)(e), contains provisions relating to control of commodity contracts which are analogous to those in Section 8-106 for other types of investment property. 4. Securities Accounts and Commodity Accounts. For drafting convenience, control with respect to a securities account or commodity account is defined in terms of obtaining control over the security entitlements or commodity contracts. Of course, an agreement that provides that (without further consent of the debtor) the securities intermediary or commodity intermediary will honor instructions from the secured party concerning a securities account or commodity account described as such is sufficient. Such an agreement necessarily implies that the intermediary will honor instructions concerning all security entitlements or commodity contracts carried in the account and thus affords the secured party control of all the security entitlements or commodity contracts.

[Enacted title]|Subtitle I - Uniform Commercial Code|Article 9 - Secured Transactions|Part II - Effectiveness of Security Agreement; Attachment of Security Interest; Rights of Parties to Security Agreement|Subpart 1 - Effectiveness and Attachment|§ 28:9-201. General effectiveness of security agreement

(a) Except as otherwise provided in Subtitle I of Title 28, a security agreement is effective according to its terms between the parties, against purchasers of the collateral, and against creditors. (b) A transaction subject to this article is subject to any applicable rule of law which establishes a different rule for consumers and §§ 28-3301 to 28-3314. (c) In case of conflict between this article and a rule of law, statute, or regulation described in subsection (b), the rule of law, statute, or regulation controls. Failure to comply with a statute or regulation described in subsection (b) has only the effect the statute or regulation specifies. (d) This article does not: (1) Validate any rate, charge, agreement, or practice that violates a rule of law, statute, or regulation described in subsection (b); or (2) Extend the application of the rule of law, statute, or regulation to a transaction not otherwise subject to it.  (Oct. 26, 2000, D.C. Law 13-201, § 101, 47 DCR 7576.)  Uniform Commercial Code Comment 1. Source. Former Sections 9-201, 9-203(4). 2. Effectiveness of Security Agreement. Subsection (a) provides that a security agreement is generally effective. With certain exceptions, a security agreement is effective between the debtor and secured party and is likewise effective against third parties. Note that “security agreement” is used here (and elsewhere in this Article) as it is defined in Section 9-102: “an agreement that creates or provides for a security interest.“ It follows that subsection (a) does not provide that every term or provision contained in a record that contains a security agreement or that is so labeled is effective. Properly read, former Section 9-201 was to the same effect. Exceptions to the general rule of subsection (a) arise where there is an overriding provision in this Article or any other Article of the UCC. For example, Section 9-317 subordinates unperfected security interests to lien creditors and certain buyers, and several provisions in Part 3 subordinate some security interests to other security interests and interests of purchasers. 3. Law, Statutes, and Regulations Applicable to Certain Transactions. Subsection (b) makes clear that certain transactions, although subject to this Article, also are subject to other applicable laws relating to consumers or specified in that subsection. Subsection (c) provides that the other law is controlling in the event of a conflict, and that a violation of other law does not ipso facto constitute a violation of this Article. Subsection (d) provides that this Article does not validate violations under or extend the application of the other applicable laws.
