§ 2—716. Buyer’s right to specific performance or replevin
(1) Specific performance may be decreed where the goods are unique or in other proper
circumstances.
(2) The decree for specific performance may include such terms and conditions as to payment
of the price, damages, or other relief as the court may deem just.
(3) The buyer has a right of replevin for goods identified to the contract if after reasonable
effort he or she is unable to effect cover for such goods or the circumstances reasonably
indicate that such effort will be unavailing or if the goods have been shipped under
reservation and satisfaction of the security interest in them has been made or tendered.
In the case of goods bought for personal, family, or household purposes, the buyer’s
right of replevin vests upon acquisition of a special property, even if the seller
had not then repudiated or failed to deliver. (Amended 1999, No. 106 (Adj. Sess.), § 9, eff. July 1, 2001.)
