The Uniform Commercial Code (U.C.C. or Code) departed from the common law and permitted the enforcement of sale-of-goods contracts with open or missing terms, provided that certain requirements were met. Today, the treatment of open- and missing-term contracts in the service context is inconsistent: Some jurisdictions apply the traditional common-law doctrine to hold such contracts invalid for indefiniteness, while others apply the U.C.C. analysis to hold such contracts enforceable. This Note considers the arguments supporting both the traditional common-law rule and modern U.C.C. approach. It argues that in light of modern commercial reality, the courts should apply the U.C.C. analysis to both sale-of-goods and service contracts. This unified approach would eliminate confusion in the current state of law and promote flexibility in commercial transactions for both goods and services.
