The official 2007 edition of the UCC. Even the confidential rough drafts of the UCC were saved and published as a 10-volume set. The Uniform Commercial Code (UCC or the Code), first published in 1952, is one of a number of uniform acts that have been promulgated in conjunction with efforts to harmonize the law of sales and other commercial transactions in all 50 states within the United States of America. This objective is deemed important because of the prevalence of commercial transactions that extend beyond one state (for example, where the goods are manufactured in state A, warehoused in state B, sold from state C and delivered in state D). If the UCC had not been adopted, it is likely that the Congress of the United States, exercising its authority under the Commerce Clause of the United States Constitution would have enacted national legislation. The UCC therefore achieved the goal of achieving substantial uniformity in commercial legislation and, at the same time, allowed the states needed flexibility to meet local circumstances. The UCC deals primarily with transactions involving personal property (movable property), not real property (immovable property).
