In a commercial transaction involving the sale of goods, what happens when a common law contract rule conflicts with a state statutory law based on the Uniform Commercial Code (UCC)?
Explanation
This question tests the understanding of the legal hierarchy between the Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) and general common law in the context of sales contracts. The UCC was enacted to provide specific, updated rules for commercial transactions, and as such, it supersedes older common law principles in areas where it provides a specific rule.
