Full text of Georgia Official Code of Georgia Annotated § 11-2-510 — Effect of breach on risk of loss., with citation guidance and answers to common questions.
§ 11-2-510. Effect of breach on risk of loss.
Where a tender or delivery of goods so fails to conform to the contract as to give a right of rejection the risk of their loss remains on the seller until cure or acceptance. Where the buyer rightfully revokes acceptance he may to the extent of any deficiency in his effective insurance coverage treat the risk of loss as having rested on the seller from the beginning. Where the buyer as to conforming goods already identified to the contract for sale repudiates or is otherwise in breach before risk of their loss has passed to him, the seller may to the extent of any deficiency in his effective insurance coverage treat the risk of loss as resting on the buyer for a commercially reasonable time. (Code 1933, § 109A-2 - 510, enacted by Ga. L. 1962, p. 156, § 1.) Law reviews. - For article, "Impracticability As Risk Allocation: The Effect of Changed Circumstances upon Contract Obligations for the Sale of Goods," see 22 Ga. L. Rev. 503 (1988).
