§ 519. § 2A—519.

  • Lessee’s damages for non-delivery, repudiation, default, and breach of warranty in
    regard to accepted goods (1) Except as otherwise provided with respect to damages liquidated in the lease agreement (§ 2A—504) or otherwise determined pursuant to agreement of the parties (§§ 1—302 and 2A—503), if a lessee elects not to cover or a lessee elects to cover and the cover is by lease agreement that for any reason does not qualify for treatment under section 2A—518(2) of this title, or is by purchase or otherwise, the measure of damages for non-delivery or repudiation
    by the lessor or for rejection or revocation of acceptance by the lessee is the present
    value, as of the date of the default, of the then market rent minus the present value
    as of the same date of the original rent, computed for the remaining lease term of
    the original lease agreement, together with incidental and consequential damages,
    less expenses saved in consequence of the lessor’s default. (2) Market rent is to be determined as of the place for tender or, in cases of rejection
    after arrival or revocation of acceptance, as of the place of arrival. (3) Except as otherwise agreed, if the lessee has accepted goods and given notification (§ 2A—516(3)), the measure of damages for nonconforming tender or delivery or other default by a lessor is the loss resulting in the ordinary course of events from the lessor’s default as determined in any manner that is reasonable together with incidental and consequential damages, less expenses saved in consequence of the lessor’s default. (4) Except as otherwise agreed, the measure of damages for breach of warranty is the present
    value at the time and place of acceptance of the difference between the value of the
    use of the goods accepted and the value if they had been as warranted for the lease
    term, unless special circumstances show proximate damages of a different amount, together
    with incidental and consequential damages, less expenses saved in consequence of the
    lessor’s default or breach of warranty. (Added 1993, No. 158 (Adj. Sess.), § 10, eff. Jan. 1, 1995; amended 2007, No. 99 (Adj. Sess.), § 8.)
