CHAPTER 2A. UNIFORM COMMERCIAL CODE LEASES

Part 5. Default

Lessor's Right To Identify Goods To Lease Contract

30-2A-524. Lessor's right to identify goods to lease contract. (1) If a lessee under a lease contract defaults as described in 30-2A-523 or, if agreed, after other default by the lessee, a lessor may:

(a) 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

(b) dispose of goods (30-2A-527(1)) that demonstrably have been intended for the particular lease contract even though those goods are unfinished.

(2) 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.
