Question 5

"Missed Payments." Robin, who loved water sports and relaxing in hot tubs, purchased a hot tub on an installment plan and was to pay the seller monthly. Her last payment was made on January 2, 2008. After several attempts at collection, the seller brought a lawsuit against her for sums remaining on the account on January 3, 2013. Robin defended on the basis that the statute of limitations had run. The seller claimed, however, that adequate time remained because the UCC applies a flexible statute of limitations; and, at any rate, sellers have at least five years in which to sue. Robin also arranged to purchase a personal watercraft. By contract with the seller, Robin was to pay an initial deposit within 10 days of the sale at which point she could take possession of the watercraft making monthly payments thereafter. Recognizing that a personal watercraft would not allow her to invite all her friends on lake trips, a couple of days after purchasing the personal watercraft, Robin purchased a pontoon boat. Because the seller of the pontoon boat demanded cash, Robin paid the total sales price prior to delivery. Unfortunately, when the pontoon boat was delivered, Robin found that it had a less powerful motor than the seller represented. Robin notified the seller of the problem, but the seller claimed to have no obligation to remedy the problem. Although recognizing that she paid too much for it, Robin decided that since lake season was underway, she would keep the pontoon boat. Because Robin paid full price for the pontoon boat, she was unable to pay within 10 days the deposit on the personal watercraft. The seller refused to deliver the watercraft, and sold it to another customer. Robin informed the seller that the refusal to deliver the watercraft was wrongful and that she was going to exercise her right to cover.

-Which of the following is true regarding the hot tub seller's right to recover funds from Robin?

A)   The seller will likely be able to proceed because the UCC has a flexible statute of limitations that takes into account whether the seller attempted to collect or lulled the plaintiff into believing collection efforts would not be made.
B)   The seller will be able to proceed because the UCC statute of limitations in this case would not expire for five years once a cause of action accrued.
C)   The seller will not be able to proceed because the UCC statute of limitations in this case expired three years after the cause of action accrued.
D)   The seller will not be able to proceed because the UCC statute of limitations in this case expired four years after the cause of action accrued.
E)   The seller will not be able to proceed because the UCC statute of limitations in this case expired two years after the cause of action accrued.F) B) and D)
G) D) and E)
