cases, 1975–1999 · leading case: Great Am. Music Mach., Inc. v. Mid-South Record Pressing Co., 393 F. Supp. 877 (M.D. Tenn. 1975).
Great Am. Music Mach., Inc. v. Mid-South Record Pressing Co., 393 F. Supp. 877 (M.D. Tenn. 1975). “The delivery of the second batch of records did not constitute a cure within the meaning of T.C.A. § 47-2-508, as the damage had already occurred and the time set for performance had expired.”
O'Bryant v. Reeder Chevrolet (Tenn. Ct. App. 1999). “The appellant argues that the language of the statute “substantially impairs its value to him if he has accepted it” is plainly subjective, and that the question of whether the defect is remedial is irrelevant in light of T.C.A. § 47-2-508, the right-to-cure statute.”
