Case Brief Summary & Legal Analysis
tl;dr: A seller of a critical safety system delivered defective parts. The court held that the seller’s subsequent offers and inadequate proof of reliability did not constitute a valid cure under the UCC, justifying the buyer’s contract termination and claim for cover damages.
Legal Significance: Clarifies that a seller’s right to cure under UCC § 2-508 requires a “conforming tender” that puts conforming goods and objective proof of their reliability at the buyer’s disposition, not merely an offer of potential curative actions, especially for critical safety equipment.

Case Facts & Court Holding
Key Facts & Case Background
Metro-North Commuter R. Co. contracted with Sinco, Inc. for a fall-protection safety system for Grand Central Terminal, emphasizing the system’s reliability. During a training session, a key component, a “Sayflink” sleeve, fell apart in an employee’s hands. Sinco admitted to a quality control failure. Within two days, Sinco attempted to cure by delivering replacement parts, including some with supplemental welding, and a self-produced videotape of a stress test on a welded part. Metro-North rejected this cure. Sinco then made several other proposals, including hiring an independent engineering firm for testing, performing on-site demonstrations, and substituting parts from another manufacturer. Metro-North rejected these offers as well, terminated the contract for default, and hired another company at a higher price. Sinco sued for breach of contract, and Metro-North counterclaimed for its cost of cover. Both parties moved for summary judgment.
