Minnesota Mining & Mfg. 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.
