    Even though the Tax Reform Act of 1986 shut the door on many of the front-end tax benefits that had helped this industry grow, this article says if lessors can reflect in their pricing and yield computations a greater reliance on the realization of actual economic residuals, this will contribute to leasing remaining a vital asset financial vehicle. It also discusses how a lessor can become more comfortable with greater risk, and describes the role of the appraiser in this post TRA environment.

    Old Wine in New Bottles: UCC Article 2A-Leases
    By Edwin E. Huddleson, III, Esq.
    Spring 1987

    Threatened stormy opposition faces the new UCC Article 2A, a proposed uniform state law on equipment leasing. Outlining the general features of Article 2A, this article, then, examines the core provisions of the proposed new law: the definition of a true lease, lessor's rights and remedies on default, warranties, special provisions for "finance leases," "consumer lease" issues, the rejection of mandatory UCC filing (or notice) requirements for leased goods, fixtures, and the general principle allowing freedom of contract for lessors and lessees. The impact of UCC Article 2A-Leases will underline the importance of careful drafting for leases of motor vehicles and equipment.
