The doctrine of "accommodation" is unique to the UCC and is entirely inconsistent with the Common Law of contracts. Please read the following: An intelligent Approach to Bar Exam Preparation(Links to an external site.)

1. Locate the doctrine in the UCC and describe "accommodation"

Now, apply the doctrine to the hypothetical below:

You own Bo's Garden Supplies and have used Mick's Manure as a supplier for several years. Exchanging email, you and Mick agree that he will ship the usual 50 bags of manure around April 1st. On March 30th, he emails you to say that there was a shortage of full-size manure bags so 100 bags, totaling the same amount of manure, are on their way and will be there as of April.

1. Is Mick in breach of contract? Why or why not? Please explain.
2. What are your legal options?
