Is there a cite to a newly promulgated UCC statute of frauds for goods? I was not aware that NCCUSL was recommending raising the threshold to $5,000. Ellsworth

However, there is and has been a catch-all statute of frauds for personal property not otherwise covered by the Code or other law. That is UCC 1-206, and it does have a $5000 threshold. However AFAIK there has been very little reported case law on that section. Ellsworth 18:56, 19 Mar 2005 (UTC)

[edit] UCC?

"UCC section 1-206 also contains a "catch-all" statute of frauds" --- what is UCC? does this refer to United States Law? perhaps this could be made more clear.

Yes, it does - I am not aware of any other jurisdiction which has adopted the UCC, although it's certainly been influential. Ellsworth 13:58, 5 Apr 2005 (UTC)

I was also not clear at how UCC could have sprung into the general article.

UCC stands for the Uniform Commercial Code, which has been adopted in all 50 states. 24.6.66.193 03:07, 15 October 2007 (UTC)
