Goods? Services? Both?

In his May Illinois Bar Journal article, “Goods? Services? Both?,” William G. Beatty discusses the fine lines between the sale of goods and the sale of services. Deciding where the lines fall becomes critical in determining the respective rights of buyers and sellers. Courts tend to rely on fact-intensive circumstances and look to the definition of “goods” under the Uniform Commercial Code (UCC). Beatty also notes that while the term “services” is not specifically defined in the UCC, it includes rules that apply to “hybrid transactions,” which blend the sale of goods with the sale of services. In his article, Beatty provides an in-depth discussion of such hybrid transactions.
