Reference no: EM131657274

Question: The Joswicks bought a mobile home manufactured by Brigadier Homes of North Carolina, Inc., from Chesapeake Mobile Homes, Inc., in March 1988. In February 1995, they noticed for the first time that the roof was leaking due to the fact that the shingles at the eaves had been improperly installed and did not permit sufficient overhang to allow rain water to drip off the roof. That condition caused water to back up and rot facia boards and plywood, the repair of which would cost $4,275. The leak also damaged the interior of the mobile home. The defect was present when Chesapeake delivered the mobile home to the Joswicks in 1988, which was a breach of the warranty that the Joswicks had received from Brigadier. The Joswicks sued Chesapeake and Brigadier for breach of warranty. The defendants argued that the UCC statute of limitations applied to the case and that the Joswicks had waited too long to bring their case. Did the UCC apply to this case?
