What is necessary for a breach of contract to be actionable under the UCC?

For a breach of contract to be actionable under the Uniform Commercial Code (UCC), it is essential that the breach results in damages to the non-breaching party. This principle aligns with the overall aim of contract law, which is to provide a remedy for loss or harm incurred due to another party's failure to fulfill their contractual obligations. Essentially, an actionable breach not only has to occur but also must have a tangible impact on the non-breaching party to warrant legal recourse or damages.

In practice, this means that even if a breach has occurred, if the non-breaching party cannot demonstrate that they suffered damages as a result, then the breach isn't actionable. This ensures that the law is being utilized to remedy real losses rather than purely technical grievances that do not affect the parties involved financially or otherwise.
