20-1 (C): 2-711 allows for cancellation rather than termination because cancellation reserves the aggrieved party’s (buyer’s) right to recover for any unperformed parts of the contract. Termination would provide less of an incentive for sellers to perform because the contractual obligations would be discharged. 20-2 (A): Under 2-502, a buyer must establish a special property to recover, which is accomplished under 2-501 by identifying the goods mentioned in a contract, even if they are non-conforming. 20-2 (B): To be granted specific performance under 2-716(1), a party must show that the goods involved are unique by demonstrating, for example, particularity or peculiarity of the goods in question, OR in other special cases, such as potentially those in which cover is impossible. 20-2 (C): For replevin under 2-716(3), cover must be reasonably unavailable and a special property under 2-501 must exist. 20-3 (A): o 2-712(2): o (Cover – Contract Price) + (Incidental Dmgs + Consequential Dmgs) – Expenses Saved by Breach o 2-713(1): o (Market Price @ Breach – K Price) + (I.

The buyer must use good faith in choosing the replacement goods and, if good faith is used, it does not matter if the goods purchased to cover ultimately ended up not being the least expensive alternative.
