 (a) Subject to section 42a-2A-403, a buyer or sublessee from the lessee of goods under an existing lease contract obtains, to the extent of the interest transferred, the leasehold interest in the goods that the lessee had or had power to transfer and, except as otherwise provided in subsection (b) of this section and in subsection (e) of section 42a-2A-727, takes subject to the existing lease contract.(b) A lessee with a voidable leasehold interest acquired in a lease transaction from a lessor has power to transfer a good leasehold interest to a good faith subsequent lessee for value to which the goods have been delivered. Under this subsection, a voidable leasehold interest is acquired when the goods have been delivered under the lease contract even if:(1) The lessor was deceived as to the identity of the lessee;(2) The delivery was in exchange for a check later dishonored; or(3) The delivery was procured through fraud punishable under criminal law.(c) A buyer in the ordinary course of business or a sublessee in the ordinary course of business from a lessee that is a merchant dealing in goods of that kind to which the goods were entrusted by the lessor obtains, to the extent of the interest transferred, all of the rights of the lessor and lessee to the goods and takes free of the existing lease contract.(d) A buyer or sublessee from the lessee of goods that are subject to an existing lease contract and are covered by a certificate of title issued under a statute of this state or of another jurisdiction takes no greater rights than those provided both by this section and by the certificate of title statute.(P.A. 02-131, S. 32.)

2020 Connecticut General Statutes|Title 42a - Uniform Commercial Code|Article 2A - Leases|Section 42a-2A-406 - Priority of certain liens arising by operation of law.

 If a person in the ordinary course of the person's business furnishes services or materials with respect to goods subject to a lease contract, a lien upon such goods in the possession of such person given by statute or rule of law for such services or materials has priority over any interest of the lessor or lessee under the lease contract or this article, unless the lien is created by statute and the statute provides otherwise or the lien is created by rule of law and the rule of law provides otherwise.(P.A. 02-131, S. 33.)
CT Gen Stat § 42a-2A-407 (2020)

 (a) Except as otherwise provided in section 42a-2A-406, a creditor of a lessee takes subject to the lease contract.(b) Except as otherwise provided in subsection (c) of this section and sections 42a-2A-406 and 42a-2A-408, a creditor of a lessor takes subject to the lease contract unless the creditor holds a lien that attached to the goods before the lease contract became enforceable.(c) Except as otherwise provided in sections 42a-9-317, 42a-9-321 and 42a-9-323, a lessee takes a leasehold interest subject to a security interest held by a creditor of the lessor.(P.A. 02-131, S. 34.)
CT Gen Stat § 42a-2A-408 (2020)
2020 Connecticut General Statutes|Title 42a - Uniform Commercial Code|Article 2A - Leases|Section 42a-2A-408 - Special rights of creditors.

 (a) Except as otherwise provided in subsections (b) and (c) of this section, the rights of creditors of the lessor with respect to goods identified to a lease contract and retained by the lessor are subject to the lessee's rights under section 42a-2A-708, subsection (d) of section 42a-2A-724 and section 42a-2A-737 if the lessee's rights vest before a creditor's claim in rem attaches to the goods.(b) A creditor of a lessor may treat a lease or an identification of goods to a lease contract as void if, as against the creditor, a retention of possession or identification by the lessor is fraudulent under any law of the state in which the goods are situated. However, the retention of possession in good faith and current course of trade by a merchant lessor for a commercially reasonable time after a lease or identification is not fraudulent.(c) Except as otherwise provided in subsection (a) of this section and sections 42a-2A-404 and 42a-2A-405, this article does not impair the rights of creditors of the lessor if identification to the lease contract or delivery is not made in current course of trade but is made in satisfaction of or as security for a preexisting claim for money, security or the like under circumstances that under any law of the state where the goods are situated, apart from this article, would constitute a fraudulent transfer or a voidable preference.(d) A creditor of a seller may treat a sale or an identification of goods to a contract for sale as void if, as against the creditor, a retention of possession by the seller is fraudulent under any law of the state where the goods are situated. However, it is not fraudulent for a seller to retain possession of the goods pursuant to a lease contract entered into by the seller as lessee and the buyer as lessor in connection with the sale or identification of the goods if the buyer bought for value and in good faith.(P.A. 02-131, S. 35.)
CT Gen Stat § 42a-2A-410 (2020)
2020 Connecticut General Statutes|Title 42a - Uniform Commercial Code|Article 2A - Leases|Section 42a-2A-410 - Lessor's and lessee's rights when goods become accessions.

 (a) In this section, “accessions” means goods that are installed in or affixed to other goods.(b) Except as otherwise provided in subsection (c) of this section, the interest of a lessor or a lessee under a lease contract entered into before the goods become accessions is superior to all interests in the whole and valid against all persons subsequently acquiring interests in the whole, but is invalid against any person with an interest in the whole that has not in a record consented to the lease or disclaimed an interest in the goods as part of the whole.(c) The interest of a lessor or a lessee under a lease contract described in subsection (b) of this section is subordinate to the interest of:(1) A buyer in the ordinary course of business or a lessee in the ordinary course of business of any interest in the whole acquired after the goods became accessions; or(2) A creditor with a security interest in the whole perfected before the lease contract was made to the extent that the creditor makes subsequent advances without knowledge of the lease contract.(d) If, under this section, a lessor or lessee holds an interest in accessions which has priority over the claims of all persons that have interests in the whole, the lessor or lessee on default, expiration, termination or cancellation of the lease contract by the other party but subject to the provisions of the lease contract and this article, or if necessary to enforce other rights under this article, may remove the goods from the whole. However, the lessor or lessee shall reimburse any holder of an interest in the whole which is not the lessee and which has not otherwise agreed for the cost of repair of any physical injury, but not for any diminution in value of the whole, caused by the absence of the goods removed or by any necessity for replacing them. A person entitled to reimbursement may refuse permission to remove the goods until the party seeking removal gives adequate security for the performance of this obligation.(P.A. 02-131, S. 37.)
CT Gen Stat § 42a-2A-411 (2020)
2020 Connecticut General Statutes|Title 42a - Uniform Commercial Code|Article 2A - Leases|Section 42a-2A-411 - Priority subject to subordination.

CT Gen Stat § 42a-2A-502 (2020)
2020 Connecticut General Statutes|Title 42a - Uniform Commercial Code|Article 2A - Leases|Section 42a-2A-502 - Warranty against interference and against infringement; lessee's obligation against infringement.

 (a) Except in a finance lease, a lessor in a lease contract warrants that, except for claims by any person by way of infringement or the like, for the duration of the lease no person holds:(1) A claim to or interest in the goods which will interfere with the lessee's enjoyment of the lessee's leasehold interest; or(2) A colorable claim to or interest in the goods which will unreasonably expose the lessee to litigation.(b) A finance lessor warrants that, except for claims by way of infringement or the like, for the duration of the lease no person holds:(1) A claim or interest in the goods that arose from an act or omission of the lessor which will interfere with the lessee's enjoyment of the lessee's leasehold interest; or(2) A colorable claim to or interest in the goods that arose from an act or omission of the lessor which will unreasonably expose the lessee to litigation.(c) Except in a finance lease, a lessor that is a merchant regularly dealing in goods of the kind warrants that the goods will be delivered free of the rightful claim of a third party by way of infringement or the like. However, a lessee that furnishes specifications to the lessor holds the lessor harmless against any claim of infringement or the like that arises out of compliance with the specifications.(d) A warranty under subsections (a) to (c), inclusive, of this section may be disclaimed or modified only by specific language or by circumstances that give the lessee reason to know that the lessor purports to transfer only such right as the lessor or a third party may have.(P.A. 02-131, S. 40.)
CT Gen Stat § 42a-2A-503 (2020)
2020 Connecticut General Statutes|Title 42a - Uniform Commercial Code|Article 2A - Leases|Section 42a-2A-503 - Express warranties to lessee.

 (a) Any representation made by the lessor to the lessee, including a representation made in any medium of communication to the public, such as advertising, which relates to the goods and becomes part of the basis of the bargain creates an express warranty that the goods will conform to the representation or, with respect to a sample or model, that the whole of the goods will conform to the sample or model.(b) To create an express warranty, it is not necessary that the lessor use formal words such as “warranty” or “guaranty” or have a specific intention to make a warranty. However, a representation merely of the value of the goods or an affirmation purporting to be merely the lessor's opinion or commendation of the goods does not create an express warranty under subsection (a) of this section.(c) A representation, including a representation made in any medium of communication to the public, such as advertising, which was made to the lessee and which relates to the goods becomes part of the basis of the bargain unless:(1) The lessee knew that the representation was not true;(2) A reasonable person in the position of the lessee would not believe that the representation was part of the agreement; or(3) In the case of a representation made in a medium for communication to the public, including advertising, the lessee did not know of the representation at the time of the agreement.(d) A right of action for breach of warranty under this section accrues as provided under subsection (c) of section 42a-2A-715.(P.A. 02-131, S. 41.)
CT Gen Stat § 42a-2A-504 (2020)
2020 Connecticut General Statutes|Title 42a - Uniform Commercial Code|Article 2A - Leases|Section 42a-2A-504 - Implied warranty of merchantability.

 (a) Except in a finance lease and subject to sections 42a-2A-506 and 42a-2A-507, a warranty that the goods are merchantable is implied in a contract for their lease if the lessor is a merchant with respect to goods of that kind.(b) Goods, to be merchantable, must:(1) Pass without objection in the trade under the contract description;(2) In the case of fungible goods, be of fair, average quality within the description;(3) Be fit for the ordinary purposes for which goods of that description are used;(4) Run, within the variation permitted by the lease agreement, of even kind, quality and quantity within each unit and among all units involved;(5) Be adequately contained, packaged and labeled as the lease agreement or circumstances may require; and(6) Conform to any representations made on the container or label.(c) Subject to section 42a-2A-506, other implied warranties may arise from course of dealing or usage of trade.(P.A. 02-131, S. 42.)
CT Gen Stat § 42a-2A-505 (2020)
2020 Connecticut General Statutes|Title 42a - Uniform Commercial Code|Article 2A - Leases|Section 42a-2A-505 - Implied warranty of fitness for particular purpose.

 Except in a finance lease and subject to section 42a-2A-506, if a lessor at the time of contracting has reason to know any particular purpose for which the goods are required and that the lessee is relying on the lessor's skill or judgment to select or furnish suitable goods, there is an implied warranty that the goods are fit for such purpose.(P.A. 02-131, S. 43.)
CT Gen Stat § 42a-2A-506 (2020)
2020 Connecticut General Statutes|Title 42a - Uniform Commercial Code|Article 2A - Leases|Section 42a-2A-506 - Disclaimer or modification of warranty.

 (a) Words or conduct relevant to the creation of an express warranty and words or conduct tending to disclaim or modify an express warranty must be construed wherever reasonable as consistent with each other. However, subject to section 42a-2A-202, words or conduct disclaiming or modifying an express warranty are ineffective to the extent that such construction is unreasonable.(b) Subject to subsection (c) of this section, to disclaim or modify an implied warranty of merchantability or fitness, or any part of either implied warranty, the following rules apply:(1) The language must be in a record and be conspicuous.(2) In other than a consumer lease contract, the language is sufficient if:(A) In the case of an implied warranty of merchantability, it mentions merchantability; and(B) In the case of an implied warranty of fitness, the language states, for example, that “There are no warranties which extend beyond the description on the face hereof”.(c) Unless the circumstances indicate otherwise, all implied warranties are disclaimed by expressions such as “as is” or “with all faults”, or similar language, or conduct that in common understanding makes it clear to the lessee that the lessor assumes no responsibility for the quality or fitness of the goods. In a consumer contract, the requirements of this subsection must be satisfied by conspicuous language in a record.(d) An implied warranty may also be disclaimed or modified by course of performance, course of dealing or usage of trade.(e) If a lessee before entering into the contract has examined the goods or the sample or model as fully as desired or has refused to examine the goods or the sample or model, there is no implied warranty with regard to defects which a reasonable examination ought in the circumstances to have revealed to the lessee.(f) Remedies for breach of warranty may be limited in accordance with this article with respect to liquidation or limitation of damages and contractual modification of remedy.(g) Subsections (b) to (f), inclusive, of this section shall not apply to leases of new or used consumer goods, except for those goods clearly marked “irregular”, “factory seconds” or “damaged”. Any language, oral or written, used by a lessor or manufacturer of consumer goods that attempts to exclude or modify any implied warranties of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose, or to exclude or modify the consumer's remedies for breach of such warranties, shall be unenforceable.(P.A. 02-131, S. 44.)
CT Gen Stat § 42a-2A-507 (2020)
2020 Connecticut General Statutes|Title 42a - Uniform Commercial Code|Article 2A - Leases|Section 42a-2A-507 - Cumulation and conflict of warranties.

 Warranties, whether express or implied, must be construed as consistent with each other and as cumulative. However, if such construction is unreasonable, the intention of the parties determines which warranty is dominant. In ascertaining such intention, the following rules apply:(1) Exact or technical specifications prevail over an inconsistent sample or model or general language of description.(2) A sample from an existing bulk or a model prevails over inconsistent general language of description.(3) Except in a consumer lease, an express warranty prevails over inconsistent implied warranties other than an implied warranty of fitness for a particular purpose.(P.A. 02-131, S. 45.)
CT Gen Stat § 42a-2A-508 (2020)
2020 Connecticut General Statutes|Title 42a - Uniform Commercial Code|Article 2A - Leases|Section 42a-2A-508 - Extension of express or implied warranty.

 (a) In a consumer lease contract, a lessor's express or implied warranty made to an immediate consumer lessee extends to any member of the family or household or an invitee to the household of the immediate consumer lessee or a transferee from the immediate consumer lessee who may reasonably be expected to use or be affected by the goods and who suffers damage other than injury to the person resulting from a breach of warranty. The lessor may not disclaim, modify or limit damages arising under this section.(b) A lessor's warranty, whether express or implied, extends to any individual who may reasonably be expected to use, consume or be affected by the goods and who is injured in person by breach of the warranty. A lessor may not disclaim or limit the operation of this subsection.(c) Nothing in this article diminishes the rights and remedies of any third party beneficiary or assignee under the law of contracts or of persons to which goods are transferred by operation of law or displaces any other law that extends a warranty to or for the benefit of any other person.(d) The scope of any warranty extended under this section to other than the immediate lessee and the remedies for breach of such warranty may be limited by the enforceable terms of the contract between the lessor and the immediate lessee. To the extent not limited:(1) The scope of the warranty is determined by sections 42a-2A-402, 42a-2A-403, 42a-2A-404 and 42a-2A-405; and(2) The remedies for breach of warranty for other than the immediate lessee are determined by the terms of the contract between the lessor and the lessee and by this article.(e) A right of action for breach of warranty under this section accrues under section 42a-2A-705.(P.A. 02-131, S. 46.)
CT Gen Stat § 42a-2A-601 (2020)
2020 Connecticut General Statutes|Title 42a - Uniform Commercial Code|Article 2A - Leases|Section 42a-2A-601 - Right to adequate assurance of performance.

 (a) A lease contract imposes an obligation on each party not to impair the other's expectation of receiving due performance. If reasonable grounds for insecurity arise with respect to the performance of either party, the other party may demand in a record adequate assurance of due performance and, until that assurance is received, if commercially reasonable, may suspend any performance for which the agreed return has not already been received.(b) Between merchants, the reasonableness of grounds for insecurity and the adequacy of any assurance offered is determined according to commercial standards.(c) Acceptance of improper delivery or payment does not prejudice an aggrieved party's right to demand adequate assurance of future performance.(d) After receipt of a demand under subsection (a) of this section, failure to provide within a reasonable time, not exceeding thirty days, assurance of due performance which is adequate under the circumstances of the particular case is a repudiation of the contract under section 42a-2A-602.(P.A. 02-131, S. 47.)
CT Gen Stat § 42a-2A-602 (2020)
2020 Connecticut General Statutes|Title 42a - Uniform Commercial Code|Article 2A - Leases|Section 42a-2A-602 - Anticipatory repudiation.

 (a) If either party to a lease contract repudiates a performance not yet due and the loss of performance will substantially impair the value of the lease contract to the other, the aggrieved party may:(1) Await performance by the repudiating party for a commercially reasonable time, or resort to any remedy for default, even if the aggrieved party has urged the repudiating party to retract the repudiation or has notified the repudiating party that the aggrieved party would await the agreed performance; and(2) In either case, suspend the aggrieved party's own performance or, if a lessor, proceed in accordance with section 42a-2A-718.(b) Repudiation includes language that one party will not or cannot make a performance still due under the contract or voluntary, affirmative conduct that reasonably appears to the other party to make a future performance impossible.(P.A. 02-131, S. 48.)
CT Gen Stat § 42a-2A-603 (2020)
2020 Connecticut General Statutes|Title 42a - Uniform Commercial Code|Article 2A - Leases|Section 42a-2A-603 - Retraction of anticipatory repudiation.

 (a) A repudiating party may retract a repudiation until the repudiating party's next performance is due unless the aggrieved party, after the repudiation, has canceled the lease contract, materially changed the aggrieved party's position or otherwise indicated that the repudiation is considered to be final.(b) A retraction may be by any method that clearly indicates to the aggrieved party that the repudiating party intends to perform the contract. However, a retraction must include any assurance justifiably demanded under section 42a-2A-601.(c) Retraction reinstates a repudiating party's rights under the lease contract with due excuse and allowance to the aggrieved party for any delay caused by the repudiation.(P.A. 02-131, S. 49.)
CT Gen Stat § 42a-2A-604 (2020)
2020 Connecticut General Statutes|Title 42a - Uniform Commercial Code|Article 2A - Leases|Section 42a-2A-604 - Substituted performance.

 (a) If, without the fault of the lessee, lessor or supplier, agreed berthing, loading or unloading facilities or an agreed type of carrier becomes unavailable, or an agreed manner of delivery otherwise becomes commercially impracticable, a party may claim excuse under section 42a-2A-605 unless a commercially reasonable substitute is available. In such case, reasonable substitute performance must be tendered and accepted.(b) If an agreed means or manner of payment fails because of domestic or foreign governmental statute, regulation or order, the lessor may withhold or stop delivery, or cause the supplier to withhold or stop delivery, until the lessee provides a means or manner of payment which is commercially a substantial equivalent. If delivery has already been made, payment by the means or in the manner provided by such statute, regulation or order discharges the lessee's obligation unless such statute, regulation or order is discriminatory, oppressive or predatory.(P.A. 02-131, S. 50.)
