(1) In rejecting goods, a lessee's failure to state a particular defect that is ascertainable by reasonable inspection precludes the lessee from relying on the defect to justify rejection or to establish default: (a) if, stated seasonably, the lessor or the supplier could have cured it (Section 36-2A-513); or (b) between merchants if the lessor or the supplier after rejection has made a request in writing for a full and final written statement of all defects on which the lessee proposes to rely. (2) A lessee's failure to reserve rights when paying rent or other consideration against documents precludes recovery of the payment for defects apparent in the documents. HISTORY: 2001 Act No. 67, Section 2; 2014 Act No. 213 (S.343), Section 19, eff October 1, 2014.
