A significant issue when a contract is breached is whether the cause of action is strictly in breach of contract or may be expanded to negligence and strict liability. The significance comes into play as the statute of limitations under the UCC is four years, whereas the statute of limitations for negligence and strict liability is typically six years or longer. A case posing this issue is one where defective goods were purchased. The facts could support a claim in both breach of contract and/or negligence and strict liability as the goods were inherently dangerous.
