The Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) and equity law provide distinct frameworks for resolving disputes and enforcing obligations. Equity law focuses on fairness and flexibility, often stepping in when strict legal rules lead to unjust outcomes. Conversely, the UCC brings structure and predictability to commercial transactions while incorporating equitable principles to ensure fairness in its application. This article explores how the UCC integrates equity, examines the strengths and weaknesses of each system, and highlights key provisions like UCC §§ 1-103, 2-202, 2-203, 2-204, 2-206, 2-302, 3-303, 3-311, 3-603, 3-604, and others.
