    First, when a creditor (ICE) extends credit to a debtor (Top Quality) and takes a security interest in some property of the debtor, Top Qualities inventory in this case, it is called a secured transaction. The inventory is then considered collateral for the financing that ICE provided for Top Quality, which was made clear in the financing statement that ICE filed. Any secured transactions where personal property is used as collateral is governed by Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code. The UCC was revised in 2001 to better adhere to modern times, and since this case took place from 2007 to 2009, we will be applying the revised edition. There are many sections of Article 9 that should be considered when examining this case. First, the filing of a financing statement, form UCC-1 in Article 9, should be confirmed as filed with the appropriate state office. Once this has been done, confirming the attachment of Top Quality’s inventory to ICE, we can then look to confirm that the initial sale to Chrisman was paid in full to Top Quality, which it was. If this were not the case, ICE would be entitled to the remaining sale proceeds. Now we move on to the requirements of a buyer in the ordinary course of business, per Article 9 of the UCC. According the textbook, “A buyer in the ordinary course of business who purchases goods from a merchant takes the goods free of any perfected or unperfected security interest in the merchant’s inventory, even if the buyer knows of the existence of the security interest” (Cheeseman). The textbook then continues to explain that this rule is necessary because buyers would be reluctant to purchase goods if the merchant creditors could recover the goods if the merchant defaulted on the loans owed to secured creditors. These statements come from the Revised Article 9, section 320(a). This is based on the idea that the buyer purchases in good faith, meaning that they are

The second contract consisted of 50,000 pounds of 2.5 to 3 pound chickens and 25,000 pounds of 1.5 to 2 pound chickens. ( smaller chickens where priced slightly higher in this contract vice the first agreement) Both contracts were signed by the parties on May 2nd, 1957. BNS shortly after made 2 shipments to meet the requirements of the first contract , of these two shipments the first was not delivered in full, but the shortage was made up with the later shipment. After receiving the shipment, Frigaliment came to the conclusion that the larger chickens delivered were not young chickens suitable for the purpose of frying or broiling. The older chickens commonly known as fowl were only suitable for stewing purposes. Frigaliment then requested to B.N.S. to stop the second contract shipment of chickens and sued BNS, claiming that under the contract B.N.S. was to only ship young chickens. BNS in turn responded that the obligation was simply to ship chickens that met the description in the contract; this was not exclusive to young chickens per the contract.

    The second element that must be there for the courts to consider the issue of fraud is knowledge on the part of the defendant that the statement is untrue. In this element, he must show that Happy Hippie Pty Ltd made some fault statements with the intention of deceiving him into buying the premises.
