Which statute governs contracts for sales of goods in New York?

• A. Common Law (all other)
• B. Art II(a) (Leases)
• C. Art II (sales of goods)
• D. UCC Article 2

Answer: (C)

In New York, contracts for the sale of goods are governed by the Uniform Commercial Code, specifically Article 2. The UCC is a set of model statutes adopted by states to streamline commercial transactions, and Article 2 covers the sale of goods—tangible, movable items. Leases are handled by Article 2A, not Article 2, and contracts outside the sale of goods (like services) generally fall under common law. So the correct choice points to the portion of the UCC that governs sales of goods, often labeled as Art II (sales of goods).
