Although subsequent articles of the Code each focus on a different type of commercial transaction, Article 1 contains the general definitions and principles that guide the Code. Provisions of Article 1 apply whether the underlying commercial transaction is a sale of goods, a lease, or a transfer of a negotiable instrument. They also apply when the transaction involves a document of title, a secured transaction, or another arrangement governed by the Code. This 2013 Edition to Article 1 provides a convenient starting point for a person embarking on a study of the primary issues and concepts in the Code.
