Summary
In California, under the Uniform Commercial Code (UCC), a buyers rights can generally be assigned to a third party unless the contract specifically prohibits it. However, if the original contract involved fraud, the assignee may also be subject to that defense, provided the assignee was aware or should have been aware of the fraud. If Herb knew about Garths bad check, Fix-It can refuse to deliver the car to him. If Herb was unaware and the contract didnt prohibit assignment, Fix-It might have to deliver the car to Herb.Full Conversation
Explain it in simple terms making it easy to understand.
Sure! Here's a simplified explanation:
- Garth bought a car from Fix-It but paid with a bad check (fraud).
- Garth then transferred his right to the car to Herb.
- Fix-It refused to give the car to Herb.
- In California, if a contract is fraudulent, that fraud can be used as a defense against anyone who knew or should have known about the fraud.
- If Herb knew about Garth's bad check, Fix-It can refuse to deliver the car to him.
Do you have any more details about whether Herb knew about the fraud?
se all applicable law and relevant facts to comprehensively answer the question
Herb's right to the car depends on whether he knew or should have known about Garth's fraud. Under the Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) applied in California:
- Fraud can be used as a defense against the assignee if they were aware or should have been aware of it.
- If Herb had no knowledge of the fraud and the contract didn't prohibit assignment, Fix-It may have to deliver the car to Herb.
Do you know if Herb was aware of the bad check or if the contract had any specific terms regarding assignment or fraud?

Quicksilver Delivery Service contracts to deliver Pete's Pizza Parlor's products to its customers for $*,*, payable in advance. Pete's pays the money, but Quicksilver fails to perform. Can Pete's rescind the contract? Can Pete's also obtain restitution? What does it mean to "rescind" a contract? How is a contract rescinded? What is restitution? How is restitution accomplished? Explain.
- Rescind a Contract: To rescind a contract means to cancel it and treat it as if it never existed. This can be done when one party fails to perform their obligations.
- Restitution: This involves returning the money or value received under the contract to the party that paid it.
In Pete's case, they can likely rescind the contract due to Quicksilver's failure to perform and seek restitution for the $*,* paid.
