Minnesota Mining & Manufacturing Co. v. NISHIKA, LTD.
(Minnesota Supreme Court)
Warranty losses under the Uniform Commercial Code
The NAM asked the court to interpret Minnesota's version of the Uniform Commercial Code to preclude a buyer of defective goods from suing in tort for economic losses outside of the normal remedies for breach of warranty under the U.C.C. Joint brief with the Manufacturers Alliance filed 2/97. The Minnesota Supreme Court ruled that third parties who only lose profits, but whose property or persons are not physically injured, cannot sue a manufacturer under warranty law in Minnesota.
