Waiver of lessee’s objections (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 (§ 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. (Added 1993, No. 158 (Adj. Sess.), § 10, eff. Jan. 1, 1995; amended 2015, No. 51, § B.6, eff. June 3, 2015.)
