ROLE OF SECTION 1-305(b) IN SUPPORTING ENFORCEMENT OF
RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS
(August 12, 2022)
By the Permanent Editorial Board for the Uniform Commercial Code*
PREFACE
The Permanent Editorial Board for the Uniform Commercial Code (PEB) acts under the authority
of the American Law Institute and the Uniform Law Commission (also known as the National
Conference of Commissioners on Uniform State Laws). The PEB has resolved to issue
supplemental commentary on the Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) from time to time. The
supplemental commentary of the PEB generally will be known as a PEB Commentary, to
distinguish it from the Official Comments to the UCC. A PEB Commentary may be denominated
a commentary, a report, or otherwise as determined by the PEB.
The Resolution states that:
The underlying purposes and policies of the PEB Commentary are those specified in
Section 1-103(a). A PEB Commentary should come within one or more of the following
specific purposes, which should be made apparent at the beginning of the Commentary: (1)
to resolve an ambiguity in the UCC by restating more clearly what the PEB considers to
be the legal rule; (2) to state a preferred resolution of an issue on which judicial opinion or
scholarly writing diverges; (3) to elaborate on the application of the UCC where the statute
and/or the Official Comment leaves doubt as to the inclusion or exclusion of, or application
to, particular circumstances or transactions; (4) consistent with Section 1-103(a)(2), to
apply the principles of the UCC to new or changed circumstances; (5) to clarify or elaborate
upon the operation of the UCC as it relates to other statutes (such as the Bankruptcy Code
and federal and state consumer protection statutes) and general principles of law and equity
pursuant to Section 1-103(b); or (6) to otherwise improve the operation of the UCC.
