Connecticut General Statutes 42a-2A-733 – Revocation of acceptance of goods
(a) A lessee may revoke acceptance of a lot or commercial unit whose nonconformity substantially impairs its value to the lessee if the lot or unit was accepted:
Terms Used In Connecticut General Statutes 42a-2A-733
- Contract: A legal written agreement that becomes binding when signed.
- Discovery: Lawyers' examination, before trial, of facts and documents in possession of the opponents to help the lawyers prepare for trial.
- Lease: A contract transferring the use of property or occupancy of land, space, structures, or equipment in consideration of a payment (e.g., rent). Source: OCC
(1) Except in the case of a finance lease, on the reasonable assumption that its nonconformity would be cured and the nonconformity has not been seasonably cured; or
(2) Without discovery of its nonconformity if acceptance was reasonably induced either by the lessor’s assurances or, except in the case of a finance lease, by the difficulty of discovery before acceptance.
(b) Except in the case of a finance lease that is not a consumer lease, a lessee may revoke acceptance of a lot or commercial unit if the lessor defaults under the lease contract and the default substantially impairs the value of such lot or commercial unit to the lessee.
(c) If the lease agreement so provides, the lessee may revoke acceptance of a lot or commercial unit because of other defaults by the lessor.
(d) A lessee’s acceptance must be revoked under subsections (a) and (b) of this section within a reasonable time after the lessee discovers or should have discovered the grounds for it and before any substantial change in condition of the goods which is not caused by their own defects. The revocation is not effective until the lessee notifies the lessor of the revocation.
(e) A lessee that justifiably revokes acceptance has the same rights and duties under sections 42a-2A-727 and 42a-2A-728 with regard to the goods involved as if the goods had been rejected.
