Connecticut General Statutes Title 42A. Uniform Commercial Code § 42a-2A-727 § 42a-2A-727. Merchant lessee's duties; lessee's options as to salvage

(a) Subject to a lessee's security interest under subsection (d) of section 42a-2A-724, if the lessor or supplier does not have an agent or place of business at the market where the goods were rejected or acceptance was revoked, a merchant lessee, after an effective rejection or justifiable revocation of acceptance of goods in the lessee's possession or control, shall follow any reasonable instructions received from the lessor or supplier with respect to the goods. In the absence of such instructions, a merchant lessee shall make a reasonable effort to sell, lease or otherwise dispose of the goods for the lessor's account if the goods threaten to decline speedily in value. In the case of a rightful rejection or justifiable revocation of acceptance, instructions are not reasonable if, on demand, indemnity for expenses is not forthcoming.

(b) In the case of a rightful rejection or justifiable revocation of acceptance:

(c) Except as otherwise provided in subsection (a) of this section, after an effective rejection or a justifiable revocation of acceptance, a lessee may store the rejected goods for the account of the lessor or supplier, reship them to the lessor or supplier, or resell them for the account of the lessor or supplier, with reimbursement in the case of a rightful rejection or a justifiable revocation of acceptance as provided in subsection (b) of this section.

(d) In complying with this section or section 42a-2A-728, the lessee shall act in good faith. Conduct in good faith under this section does not constitute acceptance or conversion and may not be the basis of a claim for damages.

(e) A person that purchases in good faith from a lessee under this section or section 42a-2A-728 takes the goods free of any rights of the lessor and the supplier, even if the lessee fails to comply with the requirements of this article.
